    1. Free 1930 census on line

    3. A better link that takes you directly to the 1930 census site is: <http://www.ancestry.com/rd/befree/affprodredirect.asp?key=Uhttp://census.ancestry.com/microsite/censuscomplete.aspx> heritagequestonline also has parts of the 1930 census on-line. Access to this site is avaiable to members of the NEHGS, and many libraries across the country, such as the Houston Public Library. The indexing on the two sites is different and each has their own advantages. I prefer the heritagequest census images to those on ancestry using macromedia flash. I like the fuzzy searches available through the ancestry index system. But it is more difficult to zero in on specific data that can be done on heritagequest. Ancestry will produce a list of up to 100 possible hits. Most will be far off the mark because of the fuzzy searching. heritagequest will show you all matching hits without the 100 limitation. But what you enter in your search request is what you get. If you ask for the name "Green," you get Green, not "Greene." Bill Wright
