As a Footnote fan and subscriber, I just got the following note:
The 1930 US Census is one of the most powerful resources available to anyone who wants to learn more about their ancestors.
During the month of August, we’re giving everyone free access to Footnote.com’s one-of-a-kind, interactive 1930 US Census.
With Footnote’s interactive census, viewing, downloading and printing images from the census are just the beginning. You can also add images and comments, spotlight interesting finds, create pages for your ancestors and tell their stories.
Let your family and friends know by simply forwarding this email to them or by pointing them to www.footnote.com/1930census/.
I have found this very helpful but I have not been able to save, download, or print any of the images during the free trial.
Eremita,
You can still save at least the part of an image that is visible on your computer monitor.
What you do is when you are looking at the image you want to save, you press the “PrtScn” button on your keyboard. That copies an image of everything on your monitor. Then you “paste” that into any graphics program, just like when you copy and paste text. I use the free graphics editing program “Paint.net”. You can get it through download.com
The free trial access to the 1930 census only worked for one day for me. I can still get into the website, but I can no longer access the images.
