It's great to be able to find microfilms with federal census pages in so many libraries and on the internet. I suppose it's only sensible that they are all copies from the same master copy that was laboriously created by some poor sole slaving over some kind of scanner. Unfortunately, when you find the the bottom 4 lines on a particular page are almost black, where do you go try to find a readable copy? Some deep dark archive of the federal government in Washington D.C.? Kelly McAllister OIympia, Washington
