    1. [Tri-Counties] 1880 Censuses now free online!
    2. Bill Benson
    3. GREAT NEWS!!! (Thanks for sharing Carol B.!) You can now search the U.S. 1880 and Canadian 1881 censuses on-line FREE. (LDS already had the British 1881 census on-line.) To use, go to http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Search/frameset_search.asp and click on "Census." More info: "The United States 1880, the British 1881, and the Canadian 1881 censuses can be searched on-line. The 1880 United States Census is complete. Approximately 50 million individuals are contained in this census. The British Isles census contains 25 million individuals from England, Wales, the Channel Islands, and the Isle of Man. The 1881 Canadian census contains 4.3 million individuals. ...another great leap forward in online family history research!" You can only view one record at a time, but you can view households as well as individuals, and look at nearby households too. This is useful as relatives often lived near one another. Names can also be searched with "inexact" (varied) spelling. I immediately found some of my relatives and with some more work, will no doubt locate additional ancestors and relatives. NEAT!
