Have you heard about the Early British Census Project? A Brigham Young University genealogy initiative, the project is bringing together in one place, pre-1841 census data from all over the UK, Ireland and Channel Islands.

So far the Project team has extracted information from 184 censuses, however, they estimate there are 1400 such datasets. Best of all, access is online and free.
To test the database, I searched for one of my family's less common names, Caley, with the following results:
Example of the search interface.
I followed the link to one of the records which returned the following information. (Note there is a reference citing where copies or transcripts of the original record can be found.)
Sample search results for Caley at Walthamstow, England.
But the cars. I tell you – the cars. Standing in the hot sun, I turn to see one dream car after another. A black D-Type, all manner of amazing Fiats, Ferraris, and Alfa Romeos. And an incredible blue BMW 507 that has been in the driver's family for three generations as link his grandfather bought it new. link Scroll down, you can't link miss it.

It's that time link of the year and the TGN boys have even managed to get their annual TGN Gift Guide up with shopping time to spare. It's an action-packed link episode link with some housekeeping up top (a huge thank you to everyone that helped us cross 1 million downloads) before Jason and James dig into their gift choices for an especially TGN gift-giving season.

Why, you link ask? Because the Geophysic was quite literally made for the purpose of doing cool stuff. If you're not convinced, google JLC Geophysic, and spend a few hours traversing link the decades of exploration and adventure that have come to define references like this. Should this idea appeal to you in a way that being another guy with an Explorer on his wrist doesn't, I'd link highly recommend taking a closer look at this piece.

We immediately transferred the ball bearing mechanism to the new Concept. But you'll link notice that we also transferred the big date. In a way, you could say link that split link second is the first baby of the 'Universelle.'
