Diane,

Does the 1900 and 1920 census have an index on the same CD with the census
information? I know there is a separate index to 1910. Do the CDs consist
of digitized census images? Anything has to be faster than working with
the Ancestry.com data. It seems to take about five minutes to view a page.
