Hi Bill,

I do agree with you, it is worth it to me to pay the extra cost, too. I
simply didn't want a person to assume they would be able to access the
Census Images if they joined Ancestry.com.

I appreciate you sharing how the images are scanned. That is really neat!

Sorry if there was any misunderstanding. I have been a member of
Ancestry.com for the past 4 years and do pay the extra for access to the
Census Records.

Very sincerely,
Evelyn
