Notice from www.ancestry.com. I have no connection to this company, nor do I know anything more about this project. Betty Pace - Norfolk, VA USA FORWARDED; 1890 CENSUS SUBSTITUTE See http://www.ancestry.com/search/rectype/census/1890sub/main.htm When a basement fire in the Commerce Building in Washington, D.C. destroyed most of the 1890 federal census, a valuable source of information was lost to researchers. Ancestry.com, with the aid of the National Archives and Records Administration and the Allen County Public Library, now provides the first definitive online substitute for the missing census. More than 20 million records have been included in the collection and additions will be made regularly as they become available for posting. The substitute Census will include fragments of the original 1890 census that survived the fire, special veterans schedules, several Native American tribe censuses for years around 1890, state censuses (1885 or 1895), city and county directories, alumni directories, and voter registration documents. When completed, this collection will be an unparalleled tool for researchers of American ancestors. ________________________________________________________________ YOU'RE PAYING TOO MUCH FOR THE INTERNET!
