Hi June, freeCEN is a web-site, where volunteers transcribe various censuses and, as the name implies, the results are free to look up. They are not complete, but they are constantly being added to. It says on the site, which areas are covered. The web-address is http://freecen.rootsweb(.)com The brackets are there, as this site (GC) doesn't accept web addresses, so type without brackets, and visit the site.. Then come back with any other questions. Someone here will surely help out. Good hunting, Bob
