We are all aware of the importance of census data in genealogical endeavors and most of know that the census has MANY other very important uses besides. I have created a page for Census 2000 on the USGenWeb National Site. There is a link from the front page at http://www.usgenweb.com/ (which is pretty neat as it has a very nice animated graphic) with a blurb and then a link to the Census 2000 page I set up. I also link from that page to the U.S. Census Bureau page. The Census 2000 page is at http://www.usgenweb.com/census-2000/census-2000.html It would be great if all of you would link to this page or at least mention Census 2000 on your state pages. And, if you could pass the info along on your CC lists, that would be a big help. Anyone is free to use the graphics. The animated one is great and the other one is huge! U.S. Census Bureau has a whole site devoted to publicizing Census 2000 and that is where the logos came from. They also have a lot of other information. http://www.census.gov/dmd/www/advtoolkit.html If someone could pass this along to the Census list, I would appreciate it. I don't think I have posting ability there. Thanks so much! Pam Reid
