I do quite a bit of Ancestor tracking of family and for friends if they ask and the Census module in Ancestor.com and My Heritage is really useful at times. In a number of cases it provides the family members in the home at the time, ages, etc etc. These statistics are valuable in establishing a number of Gov. bases. It is also hard work to go to each home and secure the information. It is unfortunate that some are reluctant if not just plain refusing to provide the data which in the end is for their benefit. Also there are the groups that have become so paranoid at any intrusion by anyone they can't distinguish the good from the bad.
