    1. [WashingtonDC'' ] Census Records on Ancestry.com
    2. I recently signed up for a year of Ancestry.com with access to the census records. Now that my daughter has returned to college, I have some time to use it and I am trying to learn my way around it. I find that only some of the census years are indexed, and for the others you need to know the enumeration district number and then browse until you find the family you want. If I have an address, how do I go about figuring out which enumeration district it was in? The descriptions they have for the districts are confusing -- i.e. I have an address on NY Ave but there are descriptions for about 4 different districts that say "NY Ave" in them. I would hope there would be an easier and less time consuming way to go about this. Does anyone have any suggestions? Sue Dotson Buzzybee@prodigy.net
