  • re: Free 1930 census

    I've been looking at the thread started by Elaine.

    Is there a problem with the site, as I can't access it through the link Elaine posted, or via a normal www. address?

    Thanks
    Helen

    Just spotted this message:
    We're experiencing ridiculously high traffic due to the Free 1930 Census offer. Sorry about the inconvenience. Check our blog for updates.
    This link might get you the page (if it's not suffering from overload)

        The search is a bit clunky. It claims to accept wildcards... sometimes it does, and sometimes it offers you a pick-list.

          Is it just USA?
          I accessed it OK and joined (free) but not had time to search very deep.

          Thanks

            Yes - It's just USA. And I think there's a small %ge (? 3%) missing... they don't say whether that's because it isn't ever going to be there, or just that they haven't uploaded it yet.

              I've just entered three names of people that I know for certain were living there, and it came back with 0 results!!! Maybe it's just overload!?

                Did you allow for mistranscriptions?
