On my way back from a meeting earlier this week I got a chance to stop by the local Family History Center for about 1/2 hour and pull up some documents I had searched for at home. Since Ancestry costs money, and I'm cheap, I just do the search at home, narrow down which entries I think might be close, then add it to my to-do list. When I get a chance to go to the Family History Library or a Center I just pull out my to-do list and gather up the documents.
Here's the 1880 Census for William Taylor's family when he was a child. His father John and mother Hannah and his siblings.

Interesting:
- Both William's mother and his wife Ada's mother are named Hannah.
- I now have four of William's siblings added to my tree, as well as birth places for his grandparents.
- All the documents I have for William have different birth years, 1870, 1871, even 1884 (although I think that last one was from another William Taylor - its from a family search tree).
