SPECIAL PROGRAM
The 1940 census and Online Finding Aids.
Two Lectures Presented by Joel Weintraub
Dr. Weintraub is an emeritus Biology Professor at California State
University, Fullerton and has won awards for his science teaching.
He became interested in genealogy about 12 years ago and volunteered
for 9 years at the National Archives and Records Administration
in southern California. Joel started transcribing streets
within census districts in 2001 to help researchers search
the 1930 U.S. Census (released in 2002). He was joined in the
venture by David Kehs and Stephen Morse in 2002, and together,
they have produced a number of online census searching utilities
for both the federal and the New York State censuses on the
Morse One Step Website. Joel has been working on finder aids
for the 1940 census since 2005, and has given talks on that
census starting in 2006. |
