Census (U.S.): Nations

Depending on what you are looking for, Genealogical researchers need to be aware that the 1930 census does not provide an accurate "snapshot" of the family structure at that time. The census attempted to count every person living in the nation on April 1, 1930. It lists such details as where they stayed and with whom, their age and place of birth.
Most of the census in 2007 was taken in August, while the Somali Region and the Afar Region were not covered. The northern Afar region is a remote, hot and arid area. The eastern Somali region (Ogaden) hosts a large nomadic Somali population and is a conflict area where Ethiopian regular forces are fighting against Ogaden National Liberation Front (ONLF).
One of the most fascinating aspects of census research is the fact that everyone is listed. While some will only be known to their family and friends, others may continue on to achieve great things for an entire nation. Today, students, historians, and genealogists can search for historical figures in the U.S. census schedules. It is fun to find a president among those listed — sometimes decades before they held an elected office.

Japan collects census information every five years. The figures show the English translation of the 2005 census form. The form solicits information on name, sex, relationship to head of household, year and month of birth, marital status, nationality, number of members of household, type and nature of dwelling, floor area of dwelling, number of hours worked during the week prior to October 1, employment status, name of employer and type of business, and kind of work.
