2020 US Census - further thoughts #general


YaleZuss@...
 

At the IAJGS conference in Boston in 2013, I attended a session where we were told that groups like Geni would "soon" have a nearly-complete global family tree on-line.  My comment at the time was that this would convert genealogy from a pleasurable hobby into middle-school math: people who couldn't work out the answers themselves would simply go on-line to find them.  I don't remember what they meant by "soon," but I'll bet it is well before 2092, when the results of the 2020 census become publicly available.  I doubt anyone in 2092 will be upset much by what isn't in this year's census.
 
Be careful what you wish for, you just might get it.
