Bvenita Williams (left) guided us through "Researching the 1930
Census." She provided a step-by-step breakdown of the census -- noting
differences from previous censuses and offering tips for interpretation.
Her presentation included additional references and 'next steps' for the
researcher.
The knowledge Bvenita shared regarding the census, the Soundex, and the
geographic method to use for states not on the Soundex, will make our
'legwork' much easier. And those who (by choice or necessity) cannot
carry out the 'legwork' in person will find the info related to on-line
research very beneficial. She is shown in the photo with AAGS member Barbara Cloud.
