Thank you both for taking the time to answer this. I just figured I was not doing it correctly. I will take up your suggestions. I am still trying to organize what I have learned and get it on paper. We were excited to find some of the earlier census records told us the address of some relatives and we were able to find some of the houses still being used. This could easily become very time consuming – BUT so much fun! I am sure I am not telling you anything new. Thanks again.
you might check the state web site for records or if your close to the state capital go into the local library or the capital.
the 1940 census will be the next to be publicly released in April of 2012. As soon as it is indexed, it will be online.
