If you feel desperate and know the state, county and page # where your
ancestor is in the census, for a limited time I will look up your ancesetor
in the census. I have subscribed to Ancestry's census images for a short
time.
I can look up all 1880 ancesetors on my own US CD set, but I always believe
in looking at the actual census yourself, because abstractors are only human
when it comes to error.
It's difficult to just look through an entire county of images on the
internet, it takes forever for the page to come up which is why I need the
page #. It's bad enough when you are blindly looking through a county for an
ancestors name with a film machine and you can roll very fast. The internet
is 50 times tedious without a page #.
There are many, many books with census indexes in them. Find one and tell me
the page #.
