I love being able to search for census records and to
actually see them. Using Ancestry or HertiageQuest is so much easier than using
microfilm readers. Before, you kind of had to know where to look, but now you
type in your name and perhaps some other facts such as birth year and location
of the person and you get a list of matches. With Ancestry.com you only have to
hover your mouse over the hit and it will show other people in the household.
This saves even more time because you don’t have to actually click the link and
wait for the computer to bring up the results. You might think 2-5 seconds
doesn’t matter much, but if you are looking up a bunch of records, every second
saved is a second you are able to spend doing something else.
