Hi everyone, I have been accessing the 1901 census pretty much 12 hours a day for the last two days dragging through Brant Co twp by twp pretty much without problem due to the lack of index. I prefer to look at things the glass is half full instead of half empty. The US just released the 1930 census in April without index nor is it online. I tell you it is a lot easier sitting down in front of my computer in my underwear :-) than have to go over to NARA or order each tape and wait three weeks at the local FHC (Neither of those are indexed either). To get to the US census online you have to pay Ancestry for access. It is Ancestry and or volunteers that are indexing it. What is scary is they keep saying that they are about done indexing. When ever I check my surname, LYDAY, they say there was only one in the entire US. I bet that would concern grandma :-). I say good on the Canadian gov. If they can just get over this freeze of post 1901 census thing, they will be cruising in my book. One tip that I found is that this site does NOT seem to work well with Netscape (my default browser). I simply clicked on MS Explorer (I did not even reload the plugin) and everything came right up. After fooling with it a while I was able to come up with a pretty efficient system for loading and reviewing the pages. Best of luck everyone, Steven Lyday San Juan Capistrano, Calif
