This CD-ROM set of the Westmorland Census comes on 4 CDs, which consus of
digitised images of the original census enumerators' books taken from microfilm
(not microfiche) as they higher quality. Please note: Censuses are organised by
Registration Districts, which
DO NOT
necessarily correspond with county boundaries. A set of census records for a
Registration District may omit some places within a county, and/or include
places from adjacent counties.
These are very old original hand written records. The vast majority of pages
are readable, but there may be some pages that are illegible due to faded ink
and the techniques used to film the records. The scanning is done from films and
we apply enhancement techniques to obtain the best possible results. When you
order the census CDs, you accept that some pages may be difficult to read or
illegible.
Note that the CDs contain images of the actual pages of the census
enumerators' books. Real original primary research data (not transcriptions in
text format). What you see is the original hand written documents. That does
involve you reading the pages rather than typing in a name and expecting the
computer to find it. However, you will very quickly become used to the
handwriting styles of the different enumerators, and it is easy to click through
the pages at even low magnification to spot the people you are looking for.
