Head on over to
http://www.ancestry.com this weekend to search this entire collection of the U.S. census. This resource is indispensable to family history research. I can place much of my family all the way back to 1790 via the census.
The 1790-1840 census lists only heads of households and the number of family members by age group. Starting in 1850 the entire household is listed. I've found both of my parents in the 1930 and 1940 census and all of my grandparents up through 1940.
Here's the 1940 image of my Armstrong grandparents household in 1940.
Happy searching!
