12/15/2009: Familysearch.org now offers free census indexes

 

Rex Phillips, one of our members, sent the following information to us:

Family Search is offering free indexes for the 1850, 1860, 1870, 1880, 1900 & 1920 censuses as well as many state censuses or mortality schedules and other goodies.  Except for the 1880 and 1920 census, the actual census images are available by clicking on the icon beside the name.  One thing I did discover was that one must spell Phillips and Philips to get a complete picture.  Go to familysearch.org, then put the mouse on  "Search Records" at the top of the page.  On the menu under Search Records is one called: "Records Search Pilot".  Clicking on this will take you to the Pilot project page.  One can either put a name and other info into the spaces there or click on the words "Browse our record collections" lower on the page to go to a specific collection set.

Thanks for the heads-up, Rex!
