The digitization of genealogy

The Internet and in particular the Web transformed the practice of genealogical research. And now U.S. Census data has been digitized and placed online by ancestry.com. As this Discovery News article notes, database access is available online by subscription only, but is free through public libraries and Mormon family history centers. Next in line: passenger lists for U.S.-bound immigrant ships.
