Database Suggestion Board

How about a Database Suggestion board? If there was such a board I would suggest the Old Age Assistance Tax Records, a precursor to Social Security. Also the individual state census's that were taken would be extremely usefull.
The current updates in german and french are useless.

Anyone can suggest a new board by going to the 'request a new board' link on the bottom of this and any board page.

No- they are *not* useless if you are researching your German or French heritage.

As to suggesting databases-
I'd first suggest that you check with whoever has the database and see if they are agreeable to granting Ancestry access to it. No sense suggesting something that isn't possible.

One way to get an opportunity (eventually) to suggest databases would be to volunteer to take part in Ancestry's keying project. Helping out can give you some input into suggesting future projects.
