[Genealib] Census indexes

[Laura Carter]

With all their errors, sometimes the indexing errors are worse in the 
Heritage Quest and Ancestry.com databases.  I have had patrons find 
folks in there and then go to the online census pages to find them.  Two 
different names last Saturday as a matter of fact.
