I have most of my files stored right now but did find this blurp on a webpage...... "1940 or later Application for a search of these records must be sent to the U.S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of the Census, Pittsburg, Kansas 66762. The purpose must be given and a determination will be made as to what information will be made available." Have you checked your local library to see if they might have a form for a request to this section of the Census Bureau? I think graves of unidentified people are those that used to be called "pauper graves"....graves of people whose family, if there were any, could not afford to pay for the burials. I found an ancestor's grave in Colorado in a section of the cemetery designated just that - pauper graves. He was 90 yrs. old, living alone, family spread across the U.S. and no one knew how to contact any of them, so the County buried him. juanita > Could you tell me if there is any way at all to get the 1940 census? > I was told there is a way.
