Hi folks, The information below was posted on another list I'm on. I thought it was interesting and thought you might think so too. My thanks to the original sender for giving me permission to repost. Peggy - -------------------------------------- Just received my Tallahassee Genealogical Society Bulletin. Here is a quote concerning the 1930 census: "The southern states will be the only part of the 1930 census to be indexed. This census is due to be released in 2002. The indexes were a WPA project to employ people. "The indexing was started in the south but before it could be finished, WWII began and the labor force was needed elsewhere. "According to William Dollarhide in the January-February issue of the American Genealogical Lending Library"s Genealogical bulletin the ten southern states indexed are Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia. The 1940 and 1950 census have no indexes at all."
