This is a forward from a message I received on the AFHA mailing list. I thought it might help someone. Michelle Rasberry Administrator ARCOLUMB Mailing List Subject: [AFHA] 1930,1940,1950...Census Info Date: Fri, 25 Feb 2000 22:50:15 EST From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Hi, I thought some new people on the list would like to know that in certain instances you do not have to wait 72 years for a census to be released. To get a copy of ANY census, you must have originals or certified copies of birth certificate for you, and death certificates for your parents/grandparents. The census' s are not indexed, so you must know the address and directions to that address. Then you send in a fee of $40 plus $16 for each person you want the full schedule for at that address. Each address is separate, and you cannot get any information except for parents, grandparents,ggparents . etc. You can call the census bureaus 800 # and get the forms and instructions. It took five months to get mine. Leona __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Talk to your friends online with Yahoo! Messenger. http://im.yahoo.com
