Well we had a good turn out for the 1940 Census, Are you Ready Lecture. One thing that surprised me was that not many folks raised their hands when I asked if they were all up to date on the 1930 census. I guess since I go to the census first and then the books, it helps me put those people in a time and place, I thought everyone else did that too.
Here are some links from my handout with comments. You can copy and paste into your browser window.

Family History Expos will be in Albuquerque for an April 13, 14, 2012. I will also be doing two lectures for this event. One of my favorite people will be there, Arlene Eakle, she is one of the nicest researchers I know and she loves puzzles. I hope to see as many of her lectures as I can, as I always learn something. for more information: http://www.familyhistoryexpos.com/viewevent.aspx?eid=51&past=0
