Great news---
You can now view the 1850 Federal Census for Adams Co. by going to the web
site and following the link under Adams Co. Archives. The census is divided
up into several sections, for easier loading. You can search each section by
using your browser's find function, usually CTRL-F. That should allow you to
enter any text string to search for on the page that's currently loaded.
Remember, too, that last names can be spelled various ways in the census
records, not always the way you think they should be. Therefore, a line by
line browsing may be more beneficial than a text search. Because these are
transcriptions, name spellings are kept the way they show up in the actual
census records.
Remember that this is secondary information, because it has been
transcribed, and may be subject to errors in reading and interpretation.
Some of those census records are very hard to decipher. Many thanks go to
the volunteers with USGenWeb who have worked on this project.
Have fun!!
