Ancestry Library Edition

The genealib listserv has had an interesting thread about the differences between Ancestry and Ancestry Library Edition. I found the info below, from the Proquest Product Manager for Ancestry, interesting. I thought that the non-population census was not in ALE.

The U.S. Federal Non-Population Census Schedules (1850-1880) are in Ancestry Library Edition. They’re found in the Census & Voter List category.

The following states are included in the Library Edition:

• California
• Illinois
• Iowa
• Kansas
• Maine
• Massachusetts
• Michigan
• Nebraska
• New York
• North Carolina
• South Carolina
• Texas
• Virginia
• Washington Territory

BTW, the Mortality Schedules are also available in the Ancestry Library Edition within the same Census & Voter List category. See U.S. Federal Census Mortality Schedules, 1850-1880


Specifically these schedules include for SC:
•Agriculture schedules (South Carolina) 1850-1880. Microfilm F 600204, 15 rolls. South Carolina Department of History and Archives, Columbia.
•Industry/manufacturers schedules (South Carolina) 1850-1880. Microfilm F 600206, 2 rolls. South Carolina Department of History and Archives, Columbia.
•Social statistics schedules (South Carolina) 1850-1880. Microfilm F 600207, 2 rolls. South Carolina Department of History and Archives, Columbia.
