Hi all, While searching for a Soundex I found the following concerning the 1930 census. Release Date The 1930 census and all existing soundex indexes will become available on April 1, 2002 at the National Archives Building, 700 Pennsylvania Ave., N.W., Washington, DC 20408-0001, and at NARA's Regional Facilities in 13 major cities. The 1930 and later censuses are not available for public use because of a statutory 72-year restriction on access for privacy reasons. (92 Stat. 915; Public Law 95-416; October 5, 1978). The census day was April 1, 1930. From: http://www.nara.gov/genealogy/1930cen.html#date -- Jabe Fincher---Pensacola, Florida http://jabessite.homestead.com/index~ns4.html
