Actually, I was talking about the federal repository. States frequently kept their own
copies of census information (including some preservation of the 1890 census that
burned in Washington). The states, therefore, become the best option except for
1931 and 1933. There are some individual documents still available for one other
year. If memory serves me correctly, it was 1924, but I have that information buried
at home somewhere. As I recall, I found little or no useful information from 1924,
although the 1931 and 1933 documents were very helpful.
