Census Records on Ancestry.com are FREE from 2 July Through 6 July

To celebrate the Fourth of July holiday, Ancestry.com announced today that the United States Federal Census records from 1790 to 1940 are available to search for FREE.  The offer ends at 11:59 PM EDT on Sunday, 6 July. The 4th of July web page looks like this:


The 4th of July Census collection page is at http://www.ancestry.com/cs/us/4th-of-july.

The 4th of July web page has a free downloadable Census Guide in PDF format at  http://c.mfcreative.com/email/campaigns/2012/allcensus/AncestryCensusGuide.pdf.

You do have to be a registered user of Ancestry.com to search for records.

If you find a record you want to save to your computer, you can click on the orange "Save" button on the record image (top right-hand corner) and save it to your computer.


Be sure to rename it with a file name that you can recall and put it in a computer file folder that you can find again.

This is a good opportunity to work on Ancestry.com in the U.S. census records if you don't have a paid subscription.

I don't like the way Ancestry has stopped us from copying and pasting. It is all scrambled now. I have to retype it to be able to understand what I have copied.
