For all you subscribers to the Genealogy Library, I have just completed adding the 1920 Census index for Guam. This is quite a valuable to tool, since families are listed (hand written) on index cards, somewhat alphabetically.

If you're not a subscriber to the Genealogy Library, you're missing out on the digitized images from the microfilms.

Updated database from 185,428 to 188,650. I still have much more to capture from funeral announcements, but most user submissions/suggestions were applied.
