FamilySearch to End Microfilm Distribution, Plans to Digitize All Records by 2020 | Family History Daily

Question is: they have census records on microfilm, which patrons can look at at Family History Centers, but the digital versions are at present only to those who subscribe to "for pay" services like Ancestry.com and Find My Past.
