    1. [TXWILLIA] Census Information
    2. This was posted on the Pittsylvania VA list, with permision to repost to fellow researchers. ***************** Hey Gang, We all need to inform our fellow researchers of Broderbund's census information. 1) At GenealogyLibrary.com, the 1810 census information they present transposes the male and female columns. By that I mean, the first five numbers they show are for females, the second five numbers are for male. This is contrary to the actual census reports that list the males in the first five columns and the females in the second five columns. 2) I just learned today that Broderbund's CD312, Census Index for Selected US Counties, 1800, also has the male and female columns transposed. As a result of these findings, I would consider any Broderbund products that list census reports from 1800 to 1840 to be suspect at best. Please pass this information on to your fellow researchers. I sent an e-mail to Broderbund when I found the errors in the 1810 index, I received no response. This does not make their information useless, you simply have to reverse the columns. Rick Monroe
