People are emailing me wanting "genealogy information" from the 1960s. It's like honey, I can help you with the 1760s or the 1860s. I was born in the 1960s and there are no censuses publicly available yet, even. Stop making me feel like a fossil. @librarians#genealogy#librarian
@jillrhudy@librarians when my uncles started excavating our roots and dragged me with them, I was delighted to learn that state governments in US and local libraries sometimes had birth and death records that were decades away from census reveal.

Given that the 1950 US census became public less than 3 years ago, those people are clearly unclear on the concept of "decennial"
