For those who don't seem to enjoy doing it, does it help to know that census is done pretty much everywhere around the world? The first census I could find info on was done 4,000 years ago in China and counted some 13 million people.
Myself, I was able to use census information to learn about the history of my family. If you or your kids or grandkids ever get involved in genealogy, you'll sure be so happy to find that your ancestors filled out census forms. And, the census you fill out today could be a wonderful find for relatives 100 years from now!
Oldest Daughter does ancestry for us and Father-In-Law's family and has gotten lots of information due the old census. I was able to obtain a picture of my Great Grand Parents because a distant cousin in Canada has the picture. There was no other way I could have ever gotten that picture.
If people don't know there is everything about them floating around, they are just kidding themselves. Census helps people get Representives and such.
I filled ours out and sent back about 3 days later.
