Footnote.com, a partner with the National Archives, announced that it will digitize and create a searchable database for all publicly available U.S. Federal Censuses (1790 to 1930).

In addition to making these records more accessible, Footnote.com is allowing its members to add their own contributions. Users can:

* Add comments or stories about a person
* Upload and attach photos or documents related to that person
* Generate a Footnote Page for any individual that features stories, a photo gallery, timeline and map
* Identify relatives found in the census by clicking the "I'm Related" button
