THE MISSING LINK
A site that counts: 1880 U.S. census goes online
If the past is your pastime, you'll need a crowbar to pry yourself away from FamilySearch.org. That's where you'll find the 1880 U.S. census -- the first complete, searchable and free census to go online. You can get on there and find out what your ancestors were doing and where they were doing it long before you were a glimmer in their descendants' eyes. Volunteers with the Mormon Church have been typing their tails off for 17 years to get all the information -- some 50 million entries -- loaded into computers. The site also has the British and Canadian censuses from 1881.
