Subject: [SCGS-L] Deadline for the SCGS Trip to Salt Lake City
Date: Sun, 31 Mar 2002 21:14:14 -0800


Any one wishing to participate in the SCGS trip to Salt Lake City should
contact me immediately if you have not registered. I need to send
information to the Best Western Salt Lake Plaza, Monday, April 1st.

I will wait until I have received the postal mail before faxing the
rooming list to the hotel and releasing any of the reseved rooms not yet
claimed.

I think we can expect a wonderful trip. I'm anxious to see the
improvements created from the recent remodeling in the Library.. I
understand more computers have been added and some very comfortable
chairs.

The 1930 Census will be available when the National Archives opens
following the Easter Holiday. I do not have information that it will be
availible in the library, but it would not surprise me to find it
awaiting us in Salt Lake City. Dick Eastman wrote an article in this
week's "Eastman's Online Newsletter." I'm pasting the article in this
message for those of you who do not receive the newsletter.

I hope you will be accompanying us to SLC, :-) Jo Russell

- 1930 U.S. Census Records Now Available

The U.S. National Archives and Records Administration released the
1930 U.S. Federal Population Census Records on April 1, 2002. You
can view those records right now by visiting the National Archives
in Washington, D.C. or at one of the 13 National Archives Regional
Libraries in Boston, Springfield (Massachusetts), New York City,
Kansas City, Philadelphia, Fort Worth, Seattle, Chicago, Atlanta,
Denver, San Francisco, Laguna Niguel (California) or Anchorage.

However, even with a total of fourteen locations, millions of
Americans still cannot easily travel to those locations. Luckily,
there is an answer: view the census records on your own computer
from the comfort of your home. For the first time ever in U.S.
history, images of the census are being released simultaneously on
microfilm and online.

Ancestry.com, a division of MyFamily.com and also the sponsor of
this newsletter, is publishing digitized images of the 1930 U.S.
Federal Census online within hours after the microfilm is released
from the National Archives. The viewable and printable images will
be available to subscribers through Ancestry.com, part of the
MyFamily.com, Inc. network of web sites and the leading resource
for family history online.

articles describing the 1920 U.S. census, look at
