How do I view the 1930 census without having to pay one of the genealogy sites? ?

i am trying to find my great grandparents in the 1930 census. So far the only way I have found to see them is by paying for the genealogy sites. Any ideas?

   Some large libraries or state libraries have the census on microfilm. Also, look for a family history library near you. They may have it or the ability to borrow the film for you.

   Go to heritagequestonline.com, you have to register at caagri.org first, it’s free. Heritagequest only has five states indexed for 1930 (Connecticut, Delaware, Maryland, Texas, and Virginia), depending on what state you’re looking in, you won’t be able to do a search. However, you can browse the records, click on Search Census, then Browse, then select the year, state, county, and location/city, and it will take you to the page showing the first image of the place you’re searching. Just click the right arrow beside the “image” button or type in an image Number and push enter.

   Have you checked your library to find out if they have a subscription to Ancestry.Com?

   The library would be a good start
