The 1940 census!
No doubt this will be the biggest genealogy news story of the decade, and may we all be alive and still doing genealogy when the 1950 comes out!
I'm going to focus on the 1940 until it comes out Monday, April 2nd, 2012, because census work is the backbone of American Genealogy and it is on that basis that so many are able to go back three or more generations in their family without much more difficulty.
Don't get me wrong. I personally can rarely let a genealogy research project rest only on the census, but nor do I believe this is a step anyone can skip!
