For those of you who either don't have access to the internet, or don't wish to pay for viewing
the census online, (but do still wish to look at original census records), don't forget
that you can always buy them on CD. The bonus with this is that you've then got
them for whenever you need to look something else up in the future.
Now available for you to own on CD is the Caernarvonshire 1841 Census,
which comes as a set of 2 disks. These contain high quality images of the census books digitised
from the microfilm. Please note: Censuses are organised by Registration Districts, which DO
NOT necessarily correspond with county boundaries. A set of census records
may omit some places within a county, and/or include
places from adjacent counties.
Readable using Adobe Acrobat which allows you to link to street indexes to
browse the areas and streets where your ancestors possibly lived. The CD set
covers the whole of Caernarvonshire as it was in the 1841 Census. Features of
the CD set are: the ability to magnify an area to see further detail, and print
the current page. There is also a place name index included, to help you find
which CD you should be looking at.
