[Genealib] RE: buying the 1940 census

[Naukam, Larry]

We would definitely buy at least our city and county of the 1940 census. Of course it won't be released till 2012 and I likely won't be working here any more, but I would encourage my successor to buy it. There is no assurance at all that we will continue to be able to pay for subscriptions to online sources, or even be able to afford computers and net access for them. That's why I would very much want to see films version available for use. If financially possible, I would like to be able to have access to the entire nation via online, but if forced to make a choice, it would be for local films.

Yes, I know that money comes and goes, but we have to be able to help people now.
