Can I put in a plug for FreeCEN, the cousin of FreeBMD? Not only is it Free(surprisingly), but is more fully searchable than some Census databases I could mention, and sometimes seems to have more accurate transcriptions. It does rely, though, on volunteers to transcribe the handwritten census returns onto spreadsheets, and they are always on the lookout for new helpers. Full instructions are given, and you can choose to work on an area of the country where you have a particular interest. If you've benefited in the past from other people's research (and who hasn't?), then you might like to contribute some time to this. Details can be found by following the links from the FreeBMD website. Thanks in advance!
