Which census data? There is cd data of pre-1790, 1790 1840,1850. These are indexes only tho. There also was alot census data at the time the census was in progress in one of the CServe sections. Feedback might have an answer on that.

My mother is interested the old censuses on CD-ROM. Can you give me the prices for the pre-1790 one you mentioned? and how to order it? Do you know of other CD-ROMs the local geneology society might want? TIA John

GeneSys Automated Resource File and Automated Archives, Inc have a working agreement which makes them appear to be the same company. They have about 30 CD's and the search engine "GRS." Phone 800-222-3766. GRS = $70, pre 1790 and most other census = $90. They seem good to work with and from what I hear are inventing new CD's all the time. The pre1790 like many early census are weak, listing names and towns only. These so far are indexes and not full length documents. I would get the catalog – which they mail out the day you call – and order the GRS and one disk. See if is is what you expect.

Actually, my mother is the one interested in geneology. I was at her house over the holidays and mentioned what I was reading as I read CIS.
