built 657 days ago
The 1930 US Federal Census was made available to the public on 1 April 2002. However, only ten states and portions of two others have been indexed on microfilm (using the Soundex system). These ten states are: Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee & Virginia.

"The 1930 Mexico Census is priceless to genealogists because it is the most recent, publicly accessible census for Mexico. It can provide an ancestor's age, birth year, religion, birthplace and occupation, explain an individual's relationship to family members and provide other family information," Nauta added.

In April 2002 the United States Census Bureau released individual census records from the 1930 Census. Public law requires that these census records be kept confidential until 72 years after the census in which they were collected. Because of this legal restriction, which is intended to protect the privacy of individuals, up until now the most recent published family census information was from 1920. Non-personal data, such as population statistics, from the federal census have long been available and can be searched in print in the Government and Business Department or online at the Historical Census Browser.

The first target is the Mexican census of 1930. People interested in finding their ancestors in that census now have to hunt among 506 rolls of microfilm at select research facilities. When the project is finished within about one year from now, people with Mexican ancestry will be able to search for relatives easily from their computers at home.

On April 1, 2002, the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) released to the public individual records from the 1930 Census. By law, individual records cannot be released to the public until 72 years after the census in which they were collected.
