You may not be satisfied with the results of images printed from the census.

The size of the original census ledgers (probably about 11 X 17 inches or larger) has been squeezed down to a small image that you can only print on 8 1/2 X 11 inch paper.  You won't be able to see your person(s) without a magnifying glass!

The best way to preserve the image is to save it onto a computer or a flash drive. 

To save an image from Ancestry:

• Click Save on the open census image.
• A box will appear asking if you want to send image home or save to computer.
• Click Save to computer
• A box will appear at the bottom of the screen; click the small arrow and choose Save as. Select the flash drive. Later you can transfer the image from the flash drive to your own computer.
