Nowhere does it say anything about race.

Hawaian ones do, at least the parent's race. Both the short form and the long form.

At least in the early 1960s they did, and the short form still does.

Hawaian ones do

Yes, I was aware of that when I posted what I did, remembered seeing those copies you posted. Checked mine again because it is odd race isn't on there. It's not. Have done a lot of genealogy, and race is in all kinds of records.

Mine is from about a generation earlier and obviously not in Hawaii, amazing it contains as much detail as it does.

Something to mull over. The 1940 census is due to be released to the public in 2010. It's probably neither here nor there, but note that it is being taken over directly by the executive branch.

Also, just because they can only be released every decade, that doesn't mean they aren't archived somewhere, with certain people who do have access, which brings us to 1950, 1960, and on.

I hate it when I start thinking along these lines.
