Shirley, I was wondering how someone can check the 1850 Industrial Census. I don't think I'm familiar with it. I'm a member at ancestry.com, but I didn't see it listed there. I would appreciate any help you may be able to give me. Thanks, Barb Crawford Hocking Co., OH [email protected] wrote: > > In a message dated 7/30/2008 7:38:08 A.M.
