Site News (April 2006)
A new update of the program has been released. A new feature has been added which deals specifically with English Poll Books and Electoral Registers. These are useful for keeping track of families whereabouts in between Censuses, as well as before Censuses were introduced. Note that they will only show eligible voters.
Poll Books were published as needed between 1696 and 1871. These books showed who each person voted for. Electoral Registers were introduced in 1872 along with the secret ballot.

Happy New Year. There is a new version of the program available to download. The Census Place and Census Person menus have been amalgamated into one menu called Census.

Put this in the Paypal Notes box and I will send them a tailored Link to the download showing who it is from - you will receive copies of the correspondence.
