I had a new experience in May, I was a guest along with PA State Archivist, Aaron McWilliams, on WITF Smart Talk. We talked about the 1940 Census release as well as the release of the 1906 PA birth records and 1096-1961 PA death records. Listeners were able to call or email their questions for us to answer. We got a lot of good questions about a variety of topics.
I was pleasantly surprised by the number of people who listen to Smart Talk. Even after the show was over people continued to email questions that Aaron and I could answer.
I had just receive an issue of the National Genealogical Society’s journal (Vol. 38 No. 2, April-June, 2012)that has a wonderful article on the 1940 census. If you want to know what is included and the significance of the questions asked on the census, it is a great issue to look for at your local library.
