This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/Jg.2ADI/1419.1 Message Board Post: HI, just thought you should be aware of the fact that the 1880 census, with the entire household listed, is available for free at the LDS site. Go to this website,(http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Search/frameset_search.asp?PAGE=search_all1.asp&clear_form=true) then click on 'census' at the left side. When the next page opens, in the top where it has a dropdown box that says "census, all" click and select US 1880) then enter your information. Hope this helps. I am a Random Acts of Kindness volunteer, I would be willing to find their tombstones and photograph them for you.
