In case you have never used it, HeritageQuest has digital images of the 1790 - 1930 census. Additionally they have over 25,000 digital family and local histories. Better yet, many individuals are eligible to get free in-home access. Below is a link describing access information by state. If your state doesn't offer anything for you, the listing also includes numerous genealogical societies who offer free access to their members. The cheapest genealogical society is $27/year including HeritageQuest. Not a bad deal for such a great database. http://www.eogen.com/HeritageQuestOnline Enjoy, Dave Taft Arlington, TX
