HQ does NOT have a serchable index for 1880 that is why you have to BROWSE. at familysearch you can get the name of town, page number so makes the search easier.

Well I'm slow on the draw here. Thank you Karen. I just assumed that 1880 wasn't available on HQ since it isn't in the index. We both know what they say happens when you assume!! Well, that's an apt description of me just now. I've used the browse before of course looking for someone that I can't find indexed but never noticed that 1880 was among the years browsable. Thank you!

I access Heritage Quest from home using my library card but that doesn't have 1880. Is there more than one Heritage Quest?

Hey, that's cool. I keep forgetting about the browse capability, and apparently these census records are continually being edited and not all the images may be indexed. The virtue of the Ancestry.com search is that you do get some usable info, even with limited access to the records.
