Thank you Michael
I better add your info to my census site
1881 England Scotland Wales are on 24 cds plus viewer
from LDS and I think it was a dentist who started that search idea LOL
I have been using the set almost daily for 5 years since I found my much
loved farmor on them
and I was hooked
England and Wales are on line as freebies at familysearch.org
and as a free index to subscription only images
at ancestry.com
so we can begin to sort out typos and post corrections as alternate names
It would be nice to see the Danish census at ddd linked to the images
mvh
