information is made available to the public 72
years after it is taken. And it’s a good thing, too,
for if it weren’t for these old census records,
most “fam ily trees” would never get compiled.
In 1900, the population of the U.S. was 76
million people, quite an increase over the prior
century. As we go into the 21st century, our pop
ulation of about 274,700,000 indicates an in
crease of almost 8 people per minute! I’m not
sure of the death rate per minute.
If you live on a military base somewhere in
the world or on a ship, or are homeless, did you
get counted? The census takers had one day
when they went to institutions, prisons, cam p
grounds, rv parks, marinas, soup kitchens,
farms, hospitals, nursing homes, etc..... to get
the count. So, possibly, this census may include
everyone who resides somewhere in the United
States.
Not getting a proper count, what is called “ un
dercounting” the population, can mean millions
of dollars not reaching areas that need— and are
entitled to— federal funds. So be sure you are
counted; it’s money in our pocket! If you did not
get a census form, it’s not too late. Call 503-626-
6786 and tell them you were missed, or e-mail
<census2000form @ hotm ail.com >.
It’s your future, don’t leave it blank! Besides,
it’s also a little bit of history! If you are on line
and want to learn more about the census, go to

ent tim es questions varied.
O ver a hundred years ago, the census taker
asked what your job was and, if you were a land
owner, your net m onetary worth; they also asked
w hether you had slaves or hired hands living on
your property. They wanted to know about chil
dren, relatives or anyone living or residing with
you so they could be listed. They wanted to
know the state or country of your birth, as well as
that of your parents. Much of this old information
has been a help to those who do genealogy or
“fam ily trees.” Genealogists in the future w on’t
be so lucky without this detailed info!
Can just anyone get information from the
Census Bureau? The answ er is “No." By law (Ti
tle 13 of U.S. code) the information is confiden-
tional and cannot be shared with any person or
any agency. The FBI tried to get information and
was refused. The 1RS cannot get any informa
tion that has been collected; social services and
other government agencies have no access to
the information. The information is released only
in the form of statistics, not as individual re
sponses. In fact, the census form requires less
information than your fishing license or driver’s
license. You don’t even put a social security
num ber on the census questionnaire! Must be
about the only thing now that doesn’t require it!
If this information is private, how do historians
and researchers gather data from old census
records? In accordance with the privacy act, the
