These CDs are great. You can do a search using any criteria. First name, Last name, Wild cards using an *, and narrow the search by selecting place of birth, and selecting to seach ony one state or region, one county, color of skin, sex, etc. Or any and all these things together. I found ggrandparents that I thought were dead before 1880. The only problem that I had was with the search in the New Orleans area. I have people that I know were there, and they aren't on this census. I do not know if there was a problem with lost records for this area for the year 1880. Julia French Wood

Everyone some evil person has sent Marleen the bad trans virus. If you get an email from her with an attachement please DO NOT open it Marleen please run your viurs checkered. Deb

Julia and other, In spite of all the people I have found, there have been one or two that I know died after 1880 that have been impossible to find in the set. Either they did not get counted, or there are some minor bits missing. It can be very frustrating if your people are in one of the minor bits. Marleen
