The census is taken every ten years, and household specific data from it is made available seventy years later. This means the 1930 census is the latest complete census available. Many libraries, including the Maryland Room at the University of Maryland, have the census available on microfilm. If your house was built prior to 1930, examining the census from the earliest available to 1930 may be helpful in establishing your chain of title. The census also collected other data, such as children, the level of each resident's education, the cost of the home, whether the home had a radio, and other interesting details.
