Census Records Have Always Been A Great Tool For Genealogists
By: Shirley Gage Hodges
United States census records are released after 72 years so we eagerly await the release of each census. Our descendants will not have some of the advantages that we have enjoyed. The 2010 United States census is about to be taken -- there will only be 10 questions asked. Our descendants will not be able to learn a lot of information about us from this census.
