From: Peter Drinkwater <peter@footnote.com> Subject: Footnote 1930 Free To: genealogy@bryantsweb.com, bjcb@bellsouth.net Date: Friday, August 7, 2009, 10:14 AM I noticed a recent post to the texgen mailing list and wanted to write to clear up any confusion. The 1930 census is free on Footnote for August. You can search, view, download, print, and interact with all the images we have for the census. To get the free offer you have to go through this page that was referenced in the promotion, http://go.footnote.com/1930census/ rather than just go straight to the site. Right now the site is overwhelmed with traffic from people using the census, so things are a little slow, but we're working on that and hope you'll give it a try when things speed back up. Sorry for any confusion.

It was disappointing and was not a “free access” to the 1930 census. It is a typical teaser offer which occurs so often. After you sign up and perform a search, you get some real names, but you do not get all names. I searched a parish in Louisiana where all of the Walkers are known to me in 1930. Not all were presented in the search results, including my father and mother who were not married yet. In addition, when you click on any of the names to view the census image sheet and information, you get: “You need an All-Access Membership to view this image.” Annual Unlimited access to all images Money-back guarantee 1-800 phone support $11.95/month Monthly Unlimited access to all images If you are just looking for names, this may be helpful.
