Bill,
You might want to download IrfanView. That program is free and will read
all of the images I've downloaded from any where, including the *.SID
format Ancestry has used. The URL is http://www.irfanview.com/
Why do you say that you "certainly would never put the actual image in a
report"? A transcription can often be wrong and having an actual copy of
that portion of the census record would be available for a re-look,
wouldn't it?

Hi Steve and Lewis and Dick and all,
I used to download every census image I found. One big problem is that
Ancestry.com keeps changing the reader for the images. Half the ones I have
on my hard disk are presently unreadable. The other factor is that I now
have a high-speed Internet connection. It is now easier to just look at the
image at Ancestry or HeritageQuest than find it on my hard disk. I certainly
would never put the actual image in a report.
