Arthur's roots (1). . .

Once you have traced a grandparent or great grandparent through a birth/marriage certificate, the next step is to find out exactly where they lived and discover the members of their wider family. For this the Census records are an ideal tool.
As an example I recently looked up a famous Liverpool comedian to discover his roots.

The Census returns
Posted by Martin Rigby on February 21, 2007 9:28 AM
The nineteenth century Census returns are a fantastic resource for the genealogist. Nowadays they are all available on line, but with some exceptions they are on a pay-per-view basis.
Many genealogical supplies companies also provide Census returns on CD-rom and these are readily available either via genealogical magazines or on-line.
