I have the CD for Roll 1482, Anderson County, for the 1870 Federal Census. I'd be happy to look up your ancestor. In order for you to have a copy for your files, you can then send your address to me at ceal@wutka.com and I'll mail the page to you. Please do *not* ask me to find all the "Smiths" in the 1870 census. Send me head of household and wife's name to help track them down, or head of household and approximate age and we can go from there. Age and names help. There are a lot of entries in this census with only initials! <groan> I also have the index on CD as well as the index on Ancestry.com. Send the information to this newsgroup, please. If you already know the page number, please include it in your information. **Newbies: A good way to present information for a lookup is to always capitalize the surname of the family and present the information in a clear format. In other words, don't go on for a couple of paragraphs about all the family relations. Something like this really helps: MOORE, James (1853-?); wife Essie (b. ca1859). Children: 1. Eulas b. 1884 2. Ernest b. 1888 3. Prue b. 1891 4. Mary b. 1893 5. Louie b. 1896 A researcher can print that and have a clear and quick reference for the information you need. Also, when referring back to the same research, include the important part of the previous conversation. I personnally might do 5-10 lookups in a week and can't keep everybody straight. It's hard I get an email that only says, "Ooops, sorry, she was born in 1856," and I have no idea to whom it refers! Ceal Atlanta
