It sometimes takes a long time to get an answer simply because these folks are all volunteers and do have other things going on in their lives. I appreciate greatly all they do for us when they do have the time. I always check www.censusonline.com before asking anyone on the lists to do a lookup and then only one per person per year per day as the rules state. Please be patient with them. They get a sometimes overwhelming amount of mail and many of them are doing lookups for more than one state!
