Access to US Census Records

Legg inn av tony cooper » 19 mai 2007 22:41:50

Can a person in Denmark access the US Census records without
subscribing to Ancestry.com? Is there free access?

Tony,

Various U.S. local libraries have subscribed to HeritageQuest which offers
all the U.S. Census that is available and the
library patrons can access the records from home at no additional charge. I
think someone outside the U.S. would have to
find a library that is willing to allow him to become a member. You might
check with your library in Orlando.
I hope this sheds some light on you query...

Thanks, but I have a subscription to Ancestry.com. Also, my library
does subscribe and an LDS family history center is nearby.

My brother, though, lives in Denmark and also wants to search census
records for US ancestors. He's not interested enough to pay for an
ancestry.com subscription. Just the occasional look-up.

I can do it for him, but I'd rather that he get his own feet wet.

While not as complete or as well indexed as the census records
on Ancestry or HeritageQuest, the USGenWeb Census project has
a large collection of transcribed census records available. Go
to http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/cen_img.htm for a listing.
Access is free and new records are being added - I want to say
weekly, but I'm not sure - periodically. Keep in mind that this
is a volunteer project and the available information is incomplete.

HTH,

Thanks, Bob. I'll pass that info along, but I note that Marion County

Indiana (Indianapolis) has not yet been transcribed. That's the
biggie.

Yeah, it's spotty, at best. I suppose that's part of the price

you pay for a free, volunteer service. You might also look at
the US GenWeb page for Marion County to see what they have
archived there - the GenWeb Census project and the GenWeb county
archives don't necessarily overlap.

Hello Tony,

Is he permanent in Denmark? If not, he can try his own library and card. In
Ohio, we have web access to http://www.heritagequest.com (via http://www.olpin.com or
http://www.oplin.org/access.php?Id=67-22537&msg_)at many library systems.

Else, your brother can make posts here and several really kind souls (SKSs) can
try to assist in solve the riddles. I think a few really enjoy the hunt 8>)
Supply as much info as know. Include names, dates, origins, place of birth
(POB), place of death (POD), where they were thought to have lived, whatever is
known, especially with a common surname / forename.

He graduated from college in 1968 and wanted to enter the field of
international marketing. He couldn't get a job because he had no
experience in international marketing, and couldn't get experience
because he couldn't get a job.

So he decided to move to Europe in 1969 to get some experience with
plans to return here with experience. He picked Denmark because he
had dated a Danish girl briefly the summer before when she was here on
holiday.

He is now married to that Danish girl, has a family, and has never
moved back to the US. He's been back for visits, and we've been there
for visits.

He speaks Danish most of the time, and speaks English with a Danish
accent now. When I talk to him on the phone (Skype), he has to
frequently stop and search for the right word in English. This kid
who grew up in Indiana will say "We went down to the - how do you say
it? - uh, uh, uh...mall?" in that Scandinavian sing-song accent.
There are English words - like "mall" - that were not part of an
American's vocabulary in 1969.

He's just not into computers and the internet. That's why I'm trying
to prod him into helping out with our family project. He has a
computer and an ISP, but it's a very slow service. He barely manages
email.

None of our ancestors are Danish, BTW.

but his children's are - like my youngest

studying danish ancesters taught me a lot about Denmark

you do have to work at maintaining two languages
reading english newspapers and listening to english radio stations every
day is just part of it
finding other expats is a good idea too

even doing family history would help:-)

If you know anyone in America, ask to borrow their
library card number if they have one and don't use it.

If they use their library a lot, then they might know
already if their library has census databases or not.

If they don't know, then they can ask for you perhaps.

If they go online a lot at the library, you will need
to use their library card number at a time of day or
night when they are not using it as most networks will
not allow two net connections with the same card number
at the same time.

But if you only have one or two relatives you are looking
for in the us census, then just post their names and the
cities and dates in this newsgroup and people can look
them up for you. (^:
