Hi, I have a subscription to Ancestry UK and, until today, have never been able to access the US Censuses. It usually offers me an upgrade!!! Anyway today, chasing relatives that emigrated, I found myself on 1930 US Census and to my surprise, when I clicked on 'View Image', it opened!! So I have been chasing all sorts around America!! Has this ever happened to anyone? Is it just today? Or have I been missing something??!! Hazel

Hazel thanks for the info, it only lets you view 1930 census but that is better than nothing. Georgina.

Wow, I've found out loads about my American rellies, whether or not they had a radio set, how much rent they paid per month for their house.... thanks very much for the tip! Only 1930 for me, though. Kate.

Hi all, How do you get to the US census's and do they cover any of Canada? Dea x

Hazel Report 6 Dec 2005 15:34

Dea, I think it is only if you are subscribed to Ancestry - go to Ancestry.Com and click on the census you want. It has worked on 1910 1920 and 1930 for me - no Canada though. Hazel

How do you get to the American census? My page opens with options for English or Welsh censuses. If I put in United States as birth place, I get people in the home censuses who were born in USA but came to England. Monica

Hi: Just wanted to let you know that I tried it too and I found relatives I was looking for. Thanks a lot. Monica - just go to the bottom of the screen you will see U. S. Ancestry at the bottom in small letters, just click and go into 1930 census. I couldn't get on any of the other census. Regards Shiela
