I found out recently that there are actual people in this world who don’t fill out their censuses when they are mailed to them. I mean give me a break! They obviously have never done genealogy research!!!! Now back then someone would go from house to house. We all know that wasn’t perfect, but instead of paying someone to do that now they just mail it to you. Do they keep a list of who they send one too? Do they just do mass mail, every address in a district? I am thinking with today’s technology they should combine the 2. Pay people to go around with a laptop and type it in. I mean a lot of the personal stuff that we like to find because of privacy issues now they don’t have to ask. It only takes a couple of minutes to fill these forms out. Why wouldn’t you? Does anyone know when they started mailing them?
