Here's my 2 cents for what it's worth! I have the Ancestry.com subscription
- AND the 1850 census scans from www.genealogylibrary.com - I much prefer the
genealogylibrary.com scans to the ones on Ancestry.com. Don't get me wrong -
I am glad that I have access to so many more census via Ancestry.com - but
wish they were of the quality of genealogylibrary.com - and with the
functionality of genealogylibrary.com. I can save an entire page - readable
size - and prints great. I have to do "editing" to the ones on Ancestry.com
- and when I do a whole page - and have to blow it up as big as the ones on
genealogylibrary.com - they are pretty crummy - so I have to save partial
images from ancestry.com. Also, the Mr.Sid plug in used by Ancestry.com is
very "clumsy" and slow, compared to genealogylibrary.com. Also - most on
Ancestry.com are NOT indexed - so it's a long SLOW process to find someone.
The 1850 on genealogylibrary.com is quite searchable.
If www.genealogylibrary.com EVER puts ALL the cenus on line in the format of
the 1850 - that's where I will be!!!
Just my opinion - so don't anybody cream me for my view of the comparison of
the two! I live in Wyoming - so have to use the interenet for searches - to
the extreme - so I tend to get picky when I have to spend money for something
like this!
