Do you have any idea as to when then next update of the SSDI will take place?
The SSDI is updated monthly.
Will there ever be another update to PERSI?
Do we know if we are ever going to have access to the SSDI previous to 1964?
When will the 1940 Cencus be available on line.
What happened to the Missouri State Census? Did you ever put it out?

I am Sexton for Lopez Union Cemetery Association on Lopez Island, Washington. We have just finished an every name index of 1,400 plus names of those interred and those with plots reserved. If you are interested please advise to whom it should be sent. It is formatted as a 2003 MSWord Table,and is a twenty eight page document. No fee or charge. LUCA is a non-profit, non-denominational volunteer association who owns the grounds and buildings and maintains and operates them for the benefit of Lopez citizens.

Do you know when the Hamburg shipping records are going to be more user friendly for research (where I can just type in surnames, instead of having to search hundreds of pages)? Thank you.

Does anyone at Family History Circle ever read the
comments?????
I’ve never received any feedback about my comments in regard to New Zealand ancestors.

Do you know when the 1940 Census will be available for genealogical research???
The federal census records are not open to the public until 72 years after the census year, so 1940 will not be available until 2012 and after that it will take time for it to be indexed. Patience is advised.
From Rootsweb: As marvelous a finding aid as it is, the SSDI does not include the names of everyone, even if they had a Social Security number (SNN). If relatives or the funeral home did not report the death to the Social Security Administration, or if the individual died before 1962 (when the records were computerized) then they probably will not appear in this database. The omission of an individual in this index does not indicate the person is still living. It simply means that there was no report of the person’s death to Social Security Administration.
Some of you must be quite new to genealogy. This is well known information about these two resources.
Nice barb at the end of your post Barb. People need to learn this info somewhere. Why not be a little less condecending next time?
To Jak and Barbara,
Thank you for the information on the SSDI and the 1940 census.
There probably are newbies to genealogy out there that needed this info but there are some of us that have been doing this for awhile that need to be reminded of these facts. I knew that the 1940 census wouldn’t be out for awhile but didn’t know which year we would be able to see it. Thanks for the info. Beth
When will the US Passport Applications 1787-1925 Database be available to use?? Kindness goes a long way, whether a person is new or old to genealogy–so politely answered questions generate a feeling of comraderie as we delve into the past for answers.
I appreciate the help offered here.
I have been doing genealogy for 3 years now and still feel as though I am “cutting teeth.” There is so much to learn.
Thank you for your wisdom and help.
