New Resource!
I've found a great new genealogy website. The LDS has a pilot program uploading new databases. Most of the databases are works-in-progress, but when completed, will be awesome.
Most genealogists are familiar with the Latter Day Saints (LDS) genealogy website www.familysearch.org. Among the great tools listed there is the complete 1880 US Census, complete with an all names index.
The new website, http://search.labs.familysearch.org/recordsearch/start.html?..#p=0, once completed, will have the 1850, 1870 and 1900 US censuses. Wow! There are also a ton of great location specific databases, such as state censuses and non-US records.
My all-time favorite is the completed Texas Death Certificates, 1890-1976. This includes actual images of the death certificates. The actual image can be so helpful, because it can give more information than just the index. It includes cemetery burial, informant, cause of death, and funeral home.
Most important, the site is free. Check it out!
