As it stands some people have lost over 20 as it is research to never be able to trace. By the time the 1940 census is available which is only 66 years from current 2006 year I will probably not be around nor some of my family to be able to continue research. I have not been able to prove out some older families due to "lost", "burned", no birth death certificates available, etc. I have been at a dead end for 30 years thanks to all that as I am sure others are also. I've been told that even service records for those in the service since Korea, etc prior and after that their records have burned also. Sad when military cannot even get a copy of their records. I don't mean to start a war on the board, but just feel records of census should be released sooner than they are so this doesn't have the chance to reoccur. Some people who retired 10 years ago from service are being told records are burned when they apply for a copy. Wish someone would free up some additional records. Mary
