I have used _www.familysearchlabs.org_ (http://www.familysearchlabs.org) several times with good success. It's part of the indexing project (_www.familysearchindexing.org_ (http://www.familysearchindexing.org) ) that anyone with internet access can do in about 1/2 hr to 2 hours per project. If you haven't helped index, do, because every project is done by two people and if they don't match, a third, more experienced person looks at the images. They're trying to get the best possible images off of the microfilm. Many of the indexes go to actual live images that will be available free, and downloadable. Some, the original record holder is retaining rights, but even the indexes are a big help. Anyway, here's what came across one of my other lists this morning. Karen FamilySerachLabs has now gone live with the 1870 Federal Census. I wrote about it at: http://blog.genealogybank.com/2008/07/1870-census-now-online.html That site now has the 1850; 1860; 1870; 1880 and 1900 census indexed and available online. These indexes are free. I was using the various online census indexes to search for some of my relatives. There was a dark blotch on the page and it was difficult to make out the name. So, I went to the 1900 Census Index at FamilySerachLabs and was very surprised to see that the same image on this page was crystal clear - no blotch. Why - I asked? Answer - FamilySerachLabs made the extra effort to create all new digital images of the census pages. The 1870 census is available in two formats: Indexed and Searchable - search every name in the census for these States: Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Dakota Territory, Delaware, District of Columbia, Florida, Idaho, Maine, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon and Utah. Browsable - lets you look at the digital images of each page in the census for All States except Kentucky, Vermont and Virginia. FamilySearchLabs will be putting the rest of these census images & indexes online shortly. **************Get the scoop on last night's hottest shows and the live music scene in your area - Check out TourTracker.com!
