KGI Blog Strikes Again! - 1940 Census Information

Those great researchers at the Kansas State Library posted an article about the 1940 census on their blog, the Kansas Government Information (KGI) blog.

The Census Bureau protects the vital information of citizens for 72 years.  After that amount of time has elapsed, the Bureau releases the detailed census records collected.  This year it was the 1940 census that was released to public view.  Naturally, this is exciting news for genealogists and historians!  You might be interested in looking through these records as well.  If you are starting out on a genealogical adventure - happy hunting!  These records should provide a great start.
