I have recently added a new Hint to my Helpful Hints for Successful Searching page dealing with the 1930 US census. This census is about to be released to NARA branches (LDS should have it soon), and will be a challenge to search as there is not a soundex for all states (only some), and there are no book indexes. The hint deals with the challenges of this census. The url of the Hints page is http://community.webtv.net/mpetzolt2/helpfulhints Since this is an Irish genealogy list, please do not have lengthy discussions on here about this census, as many international subscribers may not be interested. If you need specific help, join a list for that state or city, and ask your questions there for assistance.
