When will the 1940 U.S. Census files be available? The years of the United States Federal Censuses that have been made available include 1790-1930; a 72-year period must expire since the year a census is taken in order for a new census year to be released. Thus, the 1940 census will not be made publicly available until the year 2012. This is in accordance with laws and policies that protect the privacy and rights of living persons who may appear in the censuses released. ja

Stupidity reigns and the census needs to be 70 years from date to be released. Makes tracking down bodies difficult. **************Ideas to please picky eaters. Watch video on AOL Living.

Tom, The 1940 census has not been released to the public. The only Fred Michael I found on the 1930 census in the Kansas City area is in Washington Township, Jackson County, age 50, born in California, divorced, parents born in Germany, occupation laborer, building. He lives alone. Is this the one you're looking for? I didn't look for a Robert Michael; have to leave on an errand. Vanette **************Ideas to please picky eaters. Watch video on AOL Living.

I was wondering if the census was available for 1930 and 1940 for Jackson County Missouri? I am looking for a Fred Robert Michael who was in the Kansas City area. Thanks, Tom

Vanette is so right the new owners are not seeker friendly but the office will give you ,in person, a map and directions if the grave is in their files.Computer files. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of [email protected] Sent: Saturday, February 23, 2008 1:06 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [MOJACKSO] Mt. Washington cemetery, Kansas City,MO. It's still Mt. Washington. It was taken over by a corporation sometime before 2002 when we buried my mother's ashes there and is now called Mt. Washington Forever Cemetery. The old records were excellent, even including cause of death, birthplaces, etc. but I don't know about those by the 1950s. I have heard rumors that the present management is not very inquiry-friendly but can't confirm that first hand. The former owners were wonderful. It is a very large cemetery, roughly 3/4 mile by 1/2 mile and very hilly (and beautiful) but the hills mean that there is even more area than if it were flat, It has been in constant use since at least 1915, so finding anyone there without directions would be nearly impossible. The address, which you must have had since you wrote them, is 614 Brookside Independence, MO 64053 but the main entrance is from Winner Rd. aka 24 Highway right at Brookside and is about a mile east of I-435. Another large entrance is on Truman Rd. about the same distance east of I-435. I don't mean to be discouraging but wanted you to know what you'd be facing before you consider making a trip to visit. The deed to the plot shows the block number. Perhaps someone in the family has the deed? Also, the deed I have for two plots for my parents was recorded with the county. The deed is in my mother's name, as my dad died first so you would be looking for the name of a relative, not your grandmother's name, unless she bought the plot before her death. I don't have any idea how to look for something like that at the courthouse but perhaps someone else can tell you. Good luck in your search. I wish I could think of something that might help more.

L. Forster's Funeral Home was purchased in November of 1958 by Stine & McClure. Stine & McClure was purchased By D. W. Newcomer & Sons, which is still in business in Kansas City. I don't know if they have retained their records, but that would be a place to start. They still use the Stine & McClure name for one of their chapels. If you haven't tried yet, look for your person at Mount Washington Cemetery. We have a few photos from the interior of Forster's and there are photos of Mt. Washington on the wall. We also have a photograph of a hearse from Forster's taken in Mt. Washington Cemetery. (I am on the curatorial staff at Union Station/Kansas City Museum.)
