Well, I was wrong, that website does work, just slow due to heavy, heavy traffic, I believe. If at first you don't succeed, try later...This fresh info below came from another list and is very timely. Last evening at least two of us spent a lot of time trying to find census records. This might help speed the process up, so print this and use it in your search, unless you have a good memory. (I do NOT) bj To any Listers accessing the week's free trial on Family Tree Maker's GenealogyLibrary.com site (from any of the offers I've seen posted), you may find this helpful in your Census searches . . . . When using the 1850 Census Records, you will find it much easier if you: 1. Click on the link that says "200,000 Images from the 1850 US Census now online". 2. Next page, select the State you want to search from the link box on the right. 3. This opens the 'index' for that State. Click on "First Page of Book". 4. The next page starts an alpha index of every name on the census. At this point you can scan down to surname sought by using the "Next Page" function at bottom or typing in a 'page' number to skip to until you find the surname you're seeking. Click the little camera to go to the actual census image. (OR) 5. Click on "Search Book" at top and when the search screen opens, type in the "Last Name" and/or "First Name" of the person to search. You will be given a list of hits, with links, to go directly to the census page(s). Hits are detailed and should be easily matchable to person desired.
