I have heard every 10 years. I do know when 1920 census came out it was about 10 years before 1930 came out. Hope I'm around for 1940 census if it is more than 10 years afraid I will not make it. ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, November 30, 2005 11:38 AM Subject: [WILLIAMS] Census Due out next? > Can anyone tell me how often the census are released? > I am eagerly awaiting the 1940 and wondered when it is expected out, I > have > heard they have to wait something like 70 years before releasing one, is > this > correct? > > > ==== WILLIAMS Mailing List ==== > List web page: http://lists.rootsweb.com/index/surname/w/williams.html > Genealogy Links - http://www2.netdoor.com/~cch/GEN-links.htm > > ============================== > Search Family and Local Histories for stories about your family and the > areas they lived.

Hi, Peggy. Unfortunately, we have a while yet to wait for the 1940 U.S. population schedule information. At present, all information about individuals and families collected under United States Code Title 13, Section 9 (the one that governs census taking), remains confidential for 72 years. That means we won't see the 1940 data until 2012 at the earliest. --Hughes Williams http://www.relatedlines.com/ ----Original Message Follows---- From: [email protected] Reply-To: [email protected] To: [email protected] Subject: [WILLIAMS] Census Due out next?

Hello Members, I need some help from you long time researchers and you research experts please. So many of you have family lines back to 1700s even 1600s. Well I have a problem. How is it that you are able to get the wife and children names of these families before they were put on census if you are unable to find their death or anything else on them. I can see how easy research is 1850 and on as all the family and where they are from are put on the census, but how do you get the wife and children names befor 1850. I would welcome all the help I can get. Thank you, Barbara [email protected]

Hi, Barbara, One item that helps immensely is finding a will which lists their wife and children's names. Another is when they give/sell land to their children, sometimes it mentions the relationship. If you are really, really blessed you might find a family Bible. Sometimes oral tradition is all you have to go on or church records. Best of luck in your research.

Hi Barbara, The first step that I personally use is to take the 1850 Census which gives names of children and start backtracking. The 1840 Census gives ages, compare that to the children you can in 1850. Such as if you have a Thomas who is 12 in 1850, then in 1840 Thomas would have been a male child 0-2. I do this for all the children listed in 1850. Next is to find a will, probate, land transaction, family bibles, ect. which may give names of children or extended family. From there I try to sort out all probable births, deaths, marriages. You may find that in 1830 Thomas' family had 8 children but in later census only 5, try to determine the ages that are missing by the 1850 census. After that try to determine any children that were old enough to be married by that time and check the 1850 census for that/those child/children. Most of the time in that era families lived in close proximty. Hope these suggestions help some.

This is from the INDEX from the book, DEEP ROOTS AND STRONG BRANCHES, A Chronicle of the Descendants of Samuel and Pilgrim Williams Including Many of the Families with which Their Descendants Merged." Clara V. O'Brien. (C)1972 by author. I believe 100 copies were printed. Don't know if additional copies have been produced since Mrs. O'Brien sold these first editions. There was a supplement printed a few years later but I have lost mine. The following list is from page 470 of the "Index". Will do more as I can.

I also have AWOL ancestors in Pickens County. They all appear for the first time in the 1860 census. Henderson G. Williams, born April 22, 1832, in NC (Tombstone / Bible record). Wife Elizabeth Robinson, born March 23, 1835, in MS (Tombstone / census records). In 1860 they are already married with three small sons. I have been unable to locate a marriage record for them or either listed in the 1850 census. Children: Andrew Jackson Williams (1854), Benjamin Franklin Williams (1856), Jerome Napoleon Williams (1859), Lilly Williams (1860), Robert Williams (1862), Mary Williams (1865), Alice Cora Williams (1871). The Williams family migrated to Texas in 1883. Andrew Jackson married Arazella H. Ferguson - they are my great-grandparents. Ewell Crawford Ferguson, born 1832-1836 (census records). Wife Elsay / Dicey / Elsie ?? In 1860, they already married with four children. I have been unable to locate him in the 1850 census. Since I do not have a surname for her, I have no idea how to find her. He is possibly Emmett C. Ferguson listed in the 1850 census, son of Mary Ferguson. Children: Alice Ferguson (1852), Arazella Haseltine Ferguson (1853), John W. Ferguson (1855), James H. Ferguson (1858), Harriett Ferguson (1862), Mary J. Ferguson (1864). Except for Arazella, I have been unable to determine what happened to the Ferguson siblings. Larry Wilson

I just uploaded a update. It is a listing of known descendants of Henry Williams, b. 3 Nov, 1734. d. 1796 Caswell Co., NC. Married Elizabeth ________. Henry was a son of Daniel Williams and Ursula Henderson. He was the executor of his brother's will, Brig Gen. James Williams, killed in the revolution. One of Henry's sons was Joseph Williams (b. 1782 Orange Co., NC) that married Charity Turrentine settled in Bedford Co., TN.
