After over 30 years of searching, I have finally found my great grandfather Jesse Lock, thanks to Ancestry.com's every name census indexes. Genealogy has been one of my hobbies for most of my life, and I have been successful in finding records on many of my ancestors. I always hit a brick wall, however, when it came to finding any records on my paternal great grandfather. All I had was stories that had been passed down through the family, and one obituary which mentioned him. I have spent countless hours looking in libraries and on the internet, but I never found anything I could definitely tie to him until October 18, 2004, when I discovered that Ancestry.com now had every name indexes to most of the US census records, rather than simply head of household indexes. Within a few minutes of starting to search, I not only found my great grandfather, but his parents and five siblings as well. This is a dream come true, and I owe it all to Ancestry.com. My advice to anyone who has hit a brick wall in their genealogical research is NEVER GIVE UP!
