Thanks, Beverly. I was just doing a project where I was wondering what 50 pounds was worth back in 1800, and here you give me the answer! Hope Everyone has a Happy Holiday. Rose

The following link recently appeared on the Hudson County, NJ, mailing
list. It provides a handy and interesting inflation calculator based
on the U. S. Consumer Price Index from 1800 though 2001. You can find
the present value of money "way back when" related to your ancestor's
property value, rent, salary, etc.

One limitation of the program is that certain sectors of the economy
seem to have far exceeded the U. S. Consumer Price Index. In any
event, it is a fun tool to try.

Enjoy!
