On my most difficult line, Ancestry now rolls out accurate census listing for 1880, 1900, 1910, 1920 and 1930. The reason? I struggled and struggled, and when I finally read page after page by hand as I would a microfilm, I found them, and submitted corrections to the indexed spellings of their surname. But there is nothing online or off line right now [that I have found] which helps me trace them back farther. <br /><br />Perhaps those newly interested in genealogy will find quick success for several generations, and then either "be finished", or get hooked and learn to become better researchers, using more sources and strategies.GrannyPamhttp://www.warrenweb.info/genealogynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1527613590529958801.post-79770801960577937802011-02-24T22:06:05.860-07:002011-02-24T22:06:05.860-07:00An interesting test.

They usually have their parents names and birth/death data, and many have grandparents names. It's not unusual for them to put in the full name (including middle name) thinking that the more information they provide, the better the results will be. They don't realize that death information will skew their results in the census, WW1 draft registrations, etc.Randy Seaverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17477703429102065294noreply@blogger.com
