Hi All, Is anyone here subscribed to Ancestry? Their yearly rate is $59 something. They are offering actual images of the federal census for a reduced rate until Nov 3rd. My question is - Do you feel that you are getting your money worth AND are the census images printable and/or downloadable? Can you enlarge then, clean them up etc???

Judy, I don't know if I was a sucker or not, but I subscribed the extra $29 in order to get the census images. So far they only have the 1790's. But they are "promising" to have all census by next March (I believe that is what they told me in an email). But I did locate one ancestor on the 1790's and the microfilm is very clear and easy to read. I haven't printed anything so I can't reply to that, but I don't know why it wouldn't be clear, too. I love to get out and do the "footwork" but I don't always get the chance, so the opportunity to see them on my computer seems worthwhile to me.

I have been a subscriber to Ancestry.com for quite awhile and have found it very worthwhile. I added the extra for the census images and I'm quite impressed. So far, only 1790, but the rest are coming. I have already found and printed the images with some of my family in CT. It's very good.
