The new site has so much more information including 1920s census info.
I just found out the names of my great-grandparents on my father's side because I was able to locate my grandparent's marriage certificate. I had not been able to locate my grandmother through an Ellis Island search even though I knew she entered the U.S. through Ellis Island (all my other immigrant relatives came directly to the New Bedford area on ships). It turns out she arrived in this country at least 10 years earlier than I had been told by an elderly relative. She was actually married here in 1894.
It takes more time to go through the information because the the information is not sorted by type as on the old site, but there's just so much more information.
Check it out if you like genealogy. Need to revisit a lot of stuff.
Here's a Teaser. Check out the 1865 MASS STATE CENSUS for Lizzie. There was an "Elizabeth Morse, age 29" living with the widowed Andrew and family.
