The massive project took over 6.6 million hours of labor and 21.9 billion keystrokes to manually enter the census names into the database. 15,000 rolls of microfilm–thirteen million original census images–were scanned and transcribed to complete the project. To celebrate this milestone, Ancestry.com is offering free access to the 1930 U.S. Federal Census for three days. Just visit Ancestry.com and click through the census tour or click on one of the Census is Complete banners on the site. *Act fast. Free access to the 1930 U.S. Census will expire soon. 6/23/06 NOTE: I've heard from a few people with questions as to how to access the free search. Here's a bit more information: The free period starts when you first access it. If you go to the Ancestry.com homepage, you should see a window open up announcing the free three-day access and allows you to Start Here. If you bypassed the page and went straight to Ancestry.com, you can still access the free 1930 census through the homepage. In the upper right corner of the homepage, you should see a brown and orange ad with a green button that says "Dive In." Click on that and it will take you through a presentation that you can click through by hitting "Continue." On that next page there is a green link to "Search Now." That will open a search box where you can search. When you find someone, click on that name and on the next screen you will see include the index entry and an option (to the right) to view the actual image. Good luck with your searches! Juliana
