Does anyone know when the 1940 census will be released to the general
public?

I believe it is the 72 year rule.

April 2012

The Federal Census is ALWAYS released 72 years after it was taken!

Soooo...2012, month is usually like March I think. But the 1930 Census
is not yet available on all the on-line places yet. SOME have it, but
not all yet. Ancestry comes to mind, I think they have it.

One of the pluses of Ancestry Census subscription, they have the entire 1930
US Census available online and searchable by every name. It took them about
two years to complete, with various states made available as the effort
progressed. HeritageQuest (via Godfrey) only has a few states from 1930
available so far, searchable by head of household only.

But then again, you're paying roughly 5 1/2 times the money for that privilege
($190 vs $35) and HQ will have them after a while. I don't dispute the
convenience of an all-name index over a HOH one although I've never have the
need for one myself. It seems a bit foolish though to pay that kind of premium
before you have even discovered whether you need it or not.

Actually, I pay $79.95/year for access to Ancestry's Census. I also have
access to HQ via Godfrey, but lately only use that for the few 1900 Census
states that Ancestry has not yet indexed. In the full year I have
subscribed to HQ, they haven't added anything to their census records that I
can see. I do use Godfrey's newspaper and other resources quite often.

For my one-name research, I could have spent more than $79.95 in a single
month ordering microfilm just to check false leads, plus a significant
amount in gas going back and forth to the FHC to look at the film. As much
as I like the $35 rate for HQ, Ancestry has been much more aggressive in
building their online census offerings, so it's worth the extra money to me.
I agree that the casual family researcher wouldn't get the value from an
annual Ancestry subscription. They could probably search Ancestry's
holdings in a one month free trial.

To pick a nit I should've noticed when I made my first post:

They are REQUIRED BY LAW to keep the census private for 72 years.
There is **NO** requirement for them to make it readily available to
public at the end of 72 years.

I understand that it is quite expensive to made microform masters and
copies and with the NARA's budget shrinking annually ... ? Hardly bears
thinking of.
