Hi, Cindy and Listers, Guess what? HeritageQuest Online now has the 1850 census, too. Most of the federal census images are now on the site for browsing. Unfortunately the 1840, 1850 and a few others are not yet indexed. Coming soon, I hear. Another tip--if you want to know what states are actually on-line, do a search for a name like Smith, and the states that are not there come up shaded out. Another tip--if you want to print a full sheet of census to a full sheet of paper, go to "Download" then "View" and then print. I love this database!!
