Thank You, Tink...................... Your message is a good one that we should all try to follow. I see no harm in answering the questions. I got the short form, in fact I got TWO short forms. (Identical). I had to check to find out what to do. Answer was mail one back, throw the other out and to tell the census taker what happened when he or she came to contact me. I live in an apartment building, apparently the initial information gatherers figured there were 2 of us living in the one apartment. So they may figure they didn't get a response from #2 tenant. I consider this another mix up by the government. There isn't much information given on the individual themselves. Guess we'll have to instruct the person that takes over what we've gathered in genealogy to keep abreast of events. But that will be their duty and if they don't, they will have to dig just as we have. And that was what made it so interesting to us! Long live genealogy!

Hi For an answer regarding the Census you might want to look at this: http://usgovinfo.about.com/od/censusandstatistics/a/answersrequired.htm The Law states the following: TITLE 13 - CENSUS CHAPTER 7 - OFFENSES AND PENALTIES SUBCHAPTER II - OTHER PERSONS Sec. 221. Refusal or neglect to answer questions; false answers (a) Whoever, being over eighteen years of age, refuses or willfully neglects, when requested by the Secretary, or by any other authorized officer or employee of the Department of Commerce or bureau or agency thereof acting under the instructions of the Secretary or authorized officer, to answer, to the best of his knowledge, any of the questions on any schedule submitted to him in connection with any census or survey provided for by subchapters I, II, IV, and V of chapter 5 of this title, applying to himself or to the family to which he belongs or is related, or to the farm or farms of which he or his family is the occupant, shall be fined not more than $100. (b) Whoever, when answering questions described in subsection (a) of this section, and under the conditions or circumstances described in such subsection, willfully gives any answer that is false, shall be fined not more than $500.

You are not obligated in any way to give much more than your names and no. of people living in your home. They are intruding on your personal and private (if there is such a thing anymore) information and you do not have to give it to them if you prefer not to.

This is supposed to be the information age. So hopefully there will be plenty of information besides the census for future generations. I am amazed how much information one can find in public databases about living people.

The first census that I had to fill out as an adult was in 1980. Most folks received a brief form, but it was announced that a small percentage would randomly receive a more detailed form to fill out. I happened to be one who received the detailed form. It asked all kinds of probing questions about anything you could imagine and took me a while to fill out completely. I recall that I had to spread filling it out over several sessions rather than at one shot in order to do it without totally losing my patience LOL. I was the only person in my circle who had received the long census form that year, even though it was quite publicized as being legit. I received a short form in 1990 and in 2000. Today I also received a short form in the mail for 2010. My Mom is not really into family tree research, but she has been quite impressed with the detail I have been able to find about our family tree in the older historic censuses. She was actually disappointed that this year's form didn't ask for some of the historically interesting details similar to what I've shown her on some of the older forms.

My wife has received warnings from a couple people who say a second census form is FAKE. If you receive another census form, it may be from someone "FISHING" for your financial data, including your Social Security Number!. Be extra alert, and avoid the bait, (especially if the return address is Nigeria). You get the picture? Lots of people out there with scams trying to ride the government's coat tail.

They plan to digitalize the pages. It's part of the reqirements NARA imposed on Census Bureau. The pages will still be retained and made public in 72 years. They are trying to reduce paper overload.

Thanks for the info. I had it in the back of my head that it was 70 years. What an odd number!
