Such good suggestions and information for researching the Census. Really like knowing about looking for the schedules as well. Want to put into action right away. We have binders with copies of all the family related Census reports so can look at in our home at any time. Now I must get busy researching correctly.
I liked the example of the census transcription and citation in the Word document, and the suggestion to explore statistical information about each census. I have already downloaded a census final report for my location of interest for further evaluation.
Outstanding webinar! Clearly explained. Lots of useful tips. Great Handout. Thank you!
