Ancestry sent out "Collection Update" e-mails on April 12, 2007 stating that the "1885 NJ State Census" was "Coming Soon!". The 1885 NJ State Census has STILL not been posted! Then on May 24, 2007, Ancestry sent out "Collection Update" e-mails stating that the "NJ State Census" (no mention of specific years) was "Coming Soon!" They even posted it in the "Coming Soon" section on their website for a few days back in late June/early July. I have been watching out for it since at least April. (I think they may have even included it in a March e-mail as "Coming Soon" but I cannot find a copy of that e-mail). Needless to say, I am more than a little disappointed with Ancestry's performance on this and I certainly hope they intend to follow through and post the other available NJ State censuses soon. If I had signed up for an annual members! hip based on their misleading advertisements, my annual subscription would almost be over.
