People around the world are talking about Ancestry's phenomenal accomplishment in completing the entire US Federal Census online. This makes Ancestry.com the only place on the web where people can access all U.S. Census records from 1790 to 1930. That's every U.S. Census record available to the public.

A few years ago, the idea that the census would be digitized and indexed online seemed beyond the realm of possibility. Researchers had to work with thousands of reels of microfilm in order to find a specific person or family they wanted to learn about. Now, it comes down to simply typing a name into a search box and within seconds being rewarded with the image of an actual census page containing an actual handwritten census document.

You can reach this amazing database by clicking on one of the Ancestry banner advertisements at the top of the Wales United homepage.
