Steve -- I appreciate your comments about the Ancestry.com census data. But can you answer another question: How complete are the records? I'm sure that the earlier years are complete. But are all of the census images complete for all years (other than 1890, of course)? With my luck, if the records for a given year are 95% complete, my ancestor will be in the missing 5%.
