Am I missing something obvious to others? When I go to the site it indicates the 1850 census is "coming soon". I would love to take a look at it my self if someone can help me figure out where to look. I belong to many different rootsweb groups as I am researching several different "branches". I have never before seen this kind of unkindness and "payback". Marill
