Think You Know the Census? Think Again!
by Peggy Jude

The US Census is a starting place for many family history researchers. We find our family, record their information, and move on.  But did you really get everything out of the census? What else can it tell you? Do you know how to work with pre-1850 census tick marks? Have you explored the other census types?  Join us for a session on maximizing the use of the census.
