I found some more recent when I was looking up the census as written for 1961 to see if it listed Negro as the race instead of African American or Black (related to Obama’s posted birth certificate).

It is kind of stupid to offer both negro or black when both words mean the same thing. Why didn't they give us white folks the same option by offering both white and Blanca?

Taint fair.

Sometime we all should share the horrors of net savers when it comes to putting a kid through college. You’re better off not saving at all, cause it kills your childs chances at getting scholarships.

Being a member of an organization like Girl Scouts can kill your childs chances at the better local scholarships. Why, you ask? Because local school systems try to see to it that every kid who is going on to college gets something. The scholarship for Girl Scouts could be $250. If your child is the only Girl Scout in the school then she gets that. She could have volunteered for and assisted in every thing at her middle school, but that $1,250 scholarship goes to some other kid cause your kid got a scholarship already.

Was that just a sample form or was it filled out with data? On genealogy sites the most recent ones are 1930.
I have not seen the sample from 1961 or others. I wish I could get them more up to date than 1930.

Truthfully I don’t remember because I wasn’t looking for names, just categories.
