Thanks for the info - are you satisfied with genealogylibrary - when it first came out I saw a lot of grumbling about not being able to access it, so didn't subscribe. If they've improved, maybe I'll subscribe to it. I also have ancestry.com but, like you said, it's not indexed and you have to be very patient when searching through it. I don't have DSL line, so it is very slow going. ----- Original Message ----- From: JYG <jyg@kc.rr.com> To: <YOUNGER-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, August 06, 2001 11:03 AM Subject: Re: [YOUNGER] Re:1850 census > Wilma- > > I have access to the 1850 following through genealogylibrary.com: >
Wilma...I like Ancestry and use it frequently. I thought perhaps I'd throw in my two cents worth. I think it's worth the money.

You do have to learn how to access some things by going through "backdoors," but we seem to do that wherever we go for information. I do wish they would get the rest of the 1850 censuses and I do remember someone saying all of the censuses would have been online by May last year. I think there is a lot of competition going on. I did join one group and they still do not have anything on their site, so we do have to beware of some of these. Genealogylibrary does add 3 books a day to their site and I use it daily. They also have reduced their rates and I think it is $30 a year for the 1900 census and they have now completed all states now. The only thing I don't use and for me anyway, wasted money, was the Trees they offer. You can get them free on ancestry.com most of the time. Besides they have too many entries of guessing dates from this year to that and for me that is not helpful. Just my opinion. Linda in KC
