The 1930 census will be released April 1, 2002. There's a 72 year privacy restriction. Also only 10 southern states have a soundex for this census. So you'll have to use city directories and enumeration district guides and maps to find your family in the cities. The National Archives in Laguna Niguel has received about 500 rolls of microfilm for city directories for that time period and they are available now.

Kathleen, Thanks for the info. For the hundreds of obits I've looked up and tombstones I've photographed, I get lost when I look at census rolls, and don't understand the darn things at all.
