Footnote.com’s Free 1930 Census Collection
Footnote is offering the 1930 US Census for Free for the month of August and “see the lives of people not just names”. You might wonder why they offer the 1930 US Census
while other sites already have it. I believe they offer a richer experience at exploring the census. Some things I like that makes Footnote different are:
- Instantly see names you searched in the Footnote Viewer
- Add stories and pictures to a name
- Choose “I’m related” to show your relationship
- Keep and eye on things with Watch
- Memorialize a person instantly with a webpage and you can even share it on facebook
- Connect any of millions of documents
- Add your comments, memories to a name
- Connect with others that have similar interests
- Easier to find alternate names and spelling
They do not require a Credit Card to view the census but you will have to register for a free account. They also have the 1860 Census although it is part of the paid subscription.
