> Dear all,
> I have found a website that lists all the US census questions asked from
> 1850-2000.  For 1960-2000, instructions are also included.  The site 
> can be found at 
> < http://www.ipums.umn.edu/usa/voliii/tQuestions.html >
> 
> I browsed the site and found questions I can't wait to get the answers 
> to.  For example, 
> 
> (1940): Does this person have a Federal Social Security Number? (Yes or
> No) 
> 
> (1950): Was he living in this same county a year ago? (check box for Yes
> or No) 
> 
> (1960): Did he live in this house on April 1, 1955?  (Yes or No)
> 
> Sure wish the Census Bureau had asked these questions on earlier forms. 
> Would have made all our searches a lot easier!
