According to an ad in New England Ancestors, all US censuses are now
available on CD (or roll film, or fiche) from Heritage Quest, P.O. Box
329, Bountiful, Utah 84011-0329 (at $19.95 postpaid). Since another
lister kindly found my grandmother in the 1850 census aged 16 living
with another family, I suspect one or both of her parents had died, so
I've ordered the two 1840 disks for Penobscot Co.

Make a note to e-mail me or post your query again in two or three
weeks and I'll see if I can find your ancestor there.
