there are still some pages, that they have not put there yet, I was told after calling them, that they were hardest to read pages how long did it take for your index to arrive thanks At 01:55 PM 6/19/2001 -0600, Cecil V.

Lynda, I am sorry that I can't give you a firm time period, but I would estimate about five days. Things have been so crazy around here that I am not even sure what todays date is - my youngest daughter decided that she was going to get married. She gave me a weeks notice. One of these days ... Maybe their customer service could give you a time period. About the missing pages - This is on the 1880 Washington Co., Texas census, District 149. The Bowers family is on page 220D (according to the index), but Ancestry only has 10 pages for District 149, then goes to the next district. Every thing that I have looked at in Washington County up to that point, and after, was very easy to read. I will check back later maybe they will have corrected the problem.
