The [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1940_United_States_Census 1940 U.S. Census] is the most recent census available for public viewing. This is the first census to date that indicates who provided the information to the census taker. This is designated by a circle with an x in it.

===Bonuses===
When viewing U.S. Census Records, often times pleasant surprises may be found. For example, usually specific occupations are not listed prior to the 1850 U.S. Census. Yes, there are columns to indicate the number of people in agriculture, manufacturing, commerce, etc. on the early U.S. Census Records. However, for the [[Wooster, Ohio|Town of Wooster]], [[Wayne County, Ohio]] in the 1820 U.S. Census, handwritten page number 301, specific occupations are listed for some individuals:
* Levi {{Surname|Cox}}, Recorder of Wayne County
* Joel {{Surname|Harry}}, Inn Keeper
* Samuel {{Surname|Quinby}}, Receiver of Public Money
* John {{Surname|Patton}}, Inn Keeper
* Moses {{Surname|Owen}}, Constable
* Samuel {{Surname|Knapp}}, Clerk to Commissioner
* Thos. {{Surname|Barr}}, Presbyterian Preacher
* Joseph {{Surname|Barkendull}}, Sheriff of Wayne County
* John {{Surname|Yergan}}, Butcher
* Francis H. {{Surname|Foltz}}, Treasurer of Wayne County
* Wm. {{Surname|Larwill}}, Clerk of Court of Common Pleas
* Elizabeth {{Surname|Jones}}, Inn Keeper
* Cyrus {{Surname|Spink}}, County Auditor
Other bonuses seen (not necessarily for [[Wayne County, Ohio]]) include specific counties of birth, towns of origin for immigrants, specific year of birth (not including the 1900 US Census) and more. Do not hesitate to check every available Census record for your ancestor because you never know when the Enumerator may have provided additional information on your ancestor.
