Bobbie, Try it again. I just went there and it let me in without being a member. It does say 1890 Census Substitute after you get into the database, but in reading the paragraph describing the database, it states that it is a compilation of city directories and census material, etc. which they are putting together to take the place of the 1890 census which was destroyed in a fire. I typed in a name then went down and typed in TN and Memphis City Directories 1890-91. I found several names on there. Hope this helps. Sometimes you just have to try it a couple of times.
