Professional genealogists look forward to the release of the 1940 U.S. Federal Census which was conducted based on a census date of April 1, 1940. Given the seventy-two year privacy restriction, family historians will need to wait until April 1, 2012 to view the sixteenth census of the United States. The census counted a total of nearly 132.2 million people living in 48 states. This will unlock another 10 years of genealogy research information moving forward from the last avaible US Census in 1930! See http://www.melickgenealogists.com/.
