Citing my 1940 U.S. Census finds. Two takes!

Over at Geneamusings, Randy Seaver has chimed in with examples of citations for the 1940 U.S. census.  Other genealogists have been sharing their insights, too.  Here's to hoping there is room for another take.

Say you not? 

I blogged about finding John and Bernice Preston in the 1940 census, and created by own supplemental schedule for them. Would I have rushed to finish the job and document that census on April 8th, no doubt the graphic below comes at least close to how the citation would have appeared.


Say you should!

The passage of time can be a good thing. It renews the spirit and settles the nerves. In this case, it also made for a better set of citations.
