the LDS (Bless them) has produced a 50 CD 1880 Census (for $50--what a bargain). It searches by soundex which is a little anoying on Severs s-162 but it produces some surprises as ancestors names are spelled differently than expected. I thought in l880 spelling was a science, NOT SO. so birth date and place becomes VERY IMPORTANT. it searches by age + - 5 years so birth date + - 5 years is a great help. Location and birth date are also very helpful. It will copy the family constellation of any person found I will be out of town for 8 days starting Thursday so, if you need a search hold it or do it now. If you have a genealogy library that you would like to give a nice gift this is a bargain if they already have computer resources. Best Charles Severs
