[Genealib] Finding missing people in ancestry

[Deena Butta]

 hi---

<<I agree. I have yet to find my grandfather on the Ancestry's 1910 Census,
with or without Soundex, and I know where he was born in 1909 and his
brother in 1911.>>

A wild card search finds some people....type in the first 3 letters followed
by asterisk

<<Can't find my grandfather on the 1930 either but he shows up where he
should on the 1920. Fustrating.>>

My grandfather did not show up in the 1910 until I looked for his
brother-in-law...turned out my grandfather was his boarder....but they
enumerator and indexer had mutilated their names so terribly, I only found
him by browsing.

<<I need to find time to go through both locations via the microfilm. And
then I expect that I will have to check the locations of other known
relatives as well.>>

You can browse the ancestry censuses, same as microfilm....that is how I
found those guys: keep on clicking the arrow to "turn the page."
