Provo Company Digitizes 130 Years of Census Records
June 22nd, 2006 @ 7:45am

Lance Bandley reporting

A Provo company has digitized millions of names from the US census to help genealogy researchers. Ancestry.com spent a fortune to digitize names from 130 years of census records.

Tim Sullivan: "We have invested tens of millions of dollars putting this content online."

My Family Inc. CEO Tim Sullivan says the project several years and took 1,500 employees to get the job done.

Tim Sullivan: "We have digitized all these records, which isn't even really the hard part. The hard part was then taking the digitized records and actually typing in each and every one of the 540 million names in the US census."

Genealogy researchers say having the digitized online information will save lots of time eliminating the need to go through thousands of reels of microfilm.
