I thought I would post this info. to the list in case anyone else is
interested.
Please note, I am in no way affilliated with Heritage Quest, other than have
ordered census cd's from them, and am in no way belittling this company,
products or service.
The census cd's are very reasonably priced, however they are broken down to
where you have to order more than one.
Exa: My research, Halifax Co., VA - for the 1920 census, I had to order 2
cd's, as they had split Halifax Co. records up. It looks like for
Indianapolis for 1900, you might have to order 4 or 5 of the cd's.
The cd's are not set up like FTM census cd's or the Heritage Quest 1870 cd's.
You cannot research by surname, county, locality, etc. You have to go through
pages until you find your county, then go through more pages to find the
locality or district, then go page by page to find your surnames.
Many are very, very hard to read and if you use a HP printer, you have to
update your printer driver to print the pages, as I could not get mine to
print and had to call Heritage Quest Tech. Support. I was told they had the
problems with all HP printers.
I have not found the 1900 census transcribed online and this is the only
company I have found that offer census records on cd up to 1920.
