Thanks!
I downloaded those, but as you said, they were completely white.
I'd had enough today and put it away until after coffee in the morning. The
opacity settings will be the first thing I check.

I found the following:
http://transition.fcc.gov/form477/Geo/visualizing_census_tracts_in_google_earth.pdf
Which links to http://www2.census.gov/geo/tiger/KML/2010_Proto/ download
the one that correspondes to your state number (first 2 digits of tract
number)
This contains a bunch of KML files that will draw borders and label tract
info into google earth. While the automation is great this is the easiest
way I've found to manually turn a given address into a Tract number.
They came up all white in google earth but just lower the opacity on the
area and they work really well. Click in a given block to get the tract
info.

I've been spinning my wheels for days now, 477 help line is typical

How do I get the block/tract info? I've got maps, I've got programs, been
through the 477 paperwork of the past, none of the numbers I get add up
to 15 digits.
Getting a little irritated at this point.
Thanks guys.
