Hi Lizzie, (not dripping)  ;D

You have never hijacked a topic hun.  We just love your messages. ;D

The Census thing seems to be a money making racket at the moment.  I fail to see any special significance myself so maybe someone can answer our query.

Hugs

Last night (or the wee hours of this morning to be honest), I logged into Ancestry.com and Ancestry.co.uk and tried to access the 1930 US Federal Census only to be "greeted" with an "Upgrade now".  I was ropable (fit to be tied) because I thought that my subscription of $120 was enough to cover everything - but NOT so according to them.

I was not impressed and wrote and told them so.

Had to go to the Library and fortunately they have it.

I've had that too.  I thought I'd try looking at US census just in case I had a missing relative there (my dad used to say he had some relatives in US), but got the same message as you, so I didn't bother.

If Aussies and Americans can have census after 1901, what is so precious about the UK census?

Aussies can't  - all their census data is destroyed a few years after it is taken - they live up to their promise of perpetual privacy.

The UK promise has been modified to a 100 year closure - now reduced for 1911 by the FOI commission. From 1921 (I believe) census records come under a law enacted between 1911 and 1921 - making sure the closure is 100 years.

I have no idea what the situation is in the US.

Oh, I thought I had read some of the Rootschatters from Australia mentioning that they had searched more current records than we have available, probably misread or misunderstood what they were saying. 

However, Ancestry.com has US census records on line from 1790 to 1930 inclusive.  I don't know how much information is available on the very old ones, as my subscription doesn't let me look at the US censuses.
