FamilySearch probably doesn't have the technical staff that Ancestry does.<br /><br />EileenEileenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00064329229537398807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26204193.post-17518354658962393662010-05-14T14:30:11.609-07:002010-05-14T14:30:11.609-07:00Hi Randy, I have a Canadian & World subscript...Hi Randy, I have a Canadian & World subscription to ancestry.ca (being in Canada). I have found your Alexander Sovereen on both the 1871 and 1881 census and can send you the images. Contact me if you would like me to email them to you (alana.farrell@sympatico.ca). <br /><br />AlanaAlanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17821657762290392135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26204193.post-65267512584749374952010-05-14T14:01:53.087-07:002010-05-14T14:01:53.087-07:00I've had the same experience and frustration w...I've had the same experience and frustration with the 1871 Canada census database. The 1880 US census database has a similar problem: A record page gives the names of family members, but there's no easy way to view the record page of those family members. It would be really nice if you could search by other fields, such as father's birthplace, for instance.JThttp://filioagnostic.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26204193.post-29477152153038599012010-05-14T13:07:06.099-07:002010-05-14T13:07:06.099-07:00Hi Randy, I can explain one thing that might help ...Hi Randy, I can explain one thing that might help with your frustration level! In the 1871 census for Ontario, relationships are not noted. Meaning that in the case of your Alexander Sovereen, he is not listed as the father, his children are not listed as his children and so on. So searching with his name as a parent can't bring up any hits. The indexers won't assume a relationship and none is given. <br /><br />Second, don't know if this helps or not but when you get those 40 hits (40 names) you don't need to actually click on each one. Just run your mouse over the name and you see the info in a mouseover popup. That allows you to fairly quickly check to see which ones match the household, page # and so on for your Alexander. <br /><br />Third, if you would like a copy of the actual image I can send it to you :-)<br />LorineOlive Tree Genealogyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02381110998759242462noreply@blogger.com
