Deborah, My experience is exactly the same, point-by-point. Knowing how informative the later available censuses are regarding such information ( profession, length of time married, etc, etc.) I was very disappointed. Also, we've been married 30 years and this is the first census I've received. Since I wasn't involved in genealogy in 1990, 1980 or 1970, I didn't even notice. But now, it seems incredible to me that we've never been enumerated. Jim Burnell Deborah.Mueller@chron.com wrote: > I just filled out my 200 census. I received the short version.
