I am curious whether anyone knows how many more censuses after 1930 cover the entire U.S. population and lists parents with children. I don't believe I have seen templates for the 1940, 1950, 1960 etc censuses. I know eventually they stopped covering the entire US and started using long forms and short forms. Just wondered if anyone knew when that cutover was. It will be 'the end of an era' that began with the 1850 census spelling out family relationships. Below there is no mention of 1890. I was not a married adult in 1890 :O Rsus From: "tgiven" <tgiven@twcny.rr.com> To: "Russell Sprague" <russxsprague@hotmail.com> Subject: Re: [NYSTLAWR] Looking ahead in Genealogy Date: Sat, 6 May 2006 16:32:39 -0400 Are you referring to the 1890 census? It is not complete but I don't remember hearing what happened. J.
