Three members of the Association of Professional Genealogists list Venezuela as a research area, however, so I suggest you contact one of them and ask how to go about finding the answers to your questions.<br /><br />Maria Gabriela Batres, https://www.apgen.org/directory/search_detail.html?mbr_id=3433<br /Janice M.

I have been fasinated with what really happened to y late granfather. My mother was told as a child that he died in Venezuela around 1948-1950. Yet on my quest to discover more.

When the 1940 census is released on April 2, 2012, there will no index whatsoever. Unlike the 1880-1930 censuses, which were indexed (by Soundex) under WPA (1910 and 1930 only partially), no finding aid exists for 1940.

Or will we have to go "page by page" as Tomei's researchers may have had to do? What sources have you searched that have been well indexed and what sources have had little or no indexing - and how did you deal with it?Carol Townsendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04062588763657870062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1350318808703965214.post-9618319047134817862012-02-13T10:40:01.558-08:002012-02-13T10:40:01.558-08:00Ava, whatever their reasoning was, I don't see...Ava, whatever their reasoning was, I don't see the logic of marketing the records and then essentially advertising that the records aren't important. As for "You don't have to know what you're looking for", my opinion hasn't changed a bit (http://ancestraldiscoveries.blogspot.com/search/label/advertising).
