Has anyone purchased the census cd's from FTM or Quest and are they like what you would view on micofilm at the Archives, LDS library or State Library? Are they worth the purchase price?

Egle, State Librarian back around 1890-1900. Their Social Security Index is also nice to have, if you are interested in locating RECENT deaths of family members or friends. One problem knawing at me is why the name BRINSER, as in Brinser's Corn Meal or Brinser's Cradle factory, or the numerous teachers and ministers in the Brinser clan, does NOT appear anywhere in these dozen or so volumes by Egle. Anyone know? FTM's catalog states these Census CDs are Microfilm Images, so most likely are identical to the various microfilms they were copied from. A difficult to read microfilm is better than no record at all (although sometimes I wonder why I'm trying so hard to read what I can't understand!).

I tried a Quest census film, and used it on this 'puter. It looks like microfilm, but is on a CD rather than a micofilm reader so I can check it a 2am if I want. <gr> You have to decide if the price is worth it to you.
