1880	"Free" searchable, transcribed database at LDS covering all of USA. Each household is linked to original images at ancestry.com which can be viewed if you have their census subscription. Caution!! There are many errors in these transcriptions by LDS. Always consult the original image. Also be sure to try every possible spelling of surnames as well as given names when searching. Example: for Bowers, look also at Powers and Sowers and Towers as B-P-S-T often look similar in old handwriting and are easily mis-transcribed.
