I've been playing around with it... the images are probably much better than other census that i've seen... but their search engines are somewhat limited especially since every Italian name is misspelled... MY name especially Smile

What's so difficult about Mauro? Its not Manro or Mavro!

You should note also that the census data available is not complete, only 97% the last time I checked. I didn't renew my subscription to Ancestry this year and decided to try out Footnote instead. So far the info on naturalization, etc. has been fairly rewarding. And I agree, that the search engine technology on Footnote's site is painfully slow and cumbersome.

BTW, I read somewhere that Ancestry is going to go public with an IPO sometime soon, if it already has not. Don't know if that will mean higher or more reasonable pricing.

Lots of "Oops, sorry" messages. Probably have to try early morning. The question is, whose early morning... Very Happy
