Just curious, but why purchase the census when the 1820-1870 plus slave schedule census are on the Smith County TnGenWeb site for free? The 1880 is available on Ancestry.com for free... That leaves only the 1900 and 1910 to buy. unless you can find them somewhere on the web for free? I looked at the CD website but could not see the difference unless it is just cheaper to do on the one CD than on the separate ones. Hopefully someone else has better info than me. lh ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jenny M.

Will both types work on a computer that has dvd capability? Is there a benefit to the cd's that I haven't thought of?
