The 1930 Census contains records for approximately 123 million Americans. The census gives us a glimpse into the lives of Americans in 1930 and contains information about a household’s family members and occupants including: birthplaces, occupations, immigration, citizenship, and military service. The census can be a valuable tool to use when researching your twentieth-century ancestors because it contains records for approximately 123 million Americans. If you had family in the United States during the early twentieth century, you are likely to find at least one relative’s information within these census records. This makes the 1930 census a good place to start research if you are a beginner, or if your family, vital, or religious records are missing. History The 1930 census began on 2 April 1930 for the general population of the United States. (The enumeration in Alaska began on 1 October 1929.) Regardless of when an individual was contacted, all responses were to reflect the status of the individual as of 1 April 1930. Enumerators (census takers) collected the following information for each household: • Address (name of the street, avenue, or road; house number) • Occupant (name of each person and their relationship to head of family) • Residence (whether home is owned or rented; value of home; whether home is farm residence; whether home has a radio) • Personal (sex, race, age, marital status, college attendance, ability to read and write, birthplace, and birthplace of...

The 1930s Lifestyles and Social Trends: Overview After the stock market crash of October 29, 1929, started the Although the 1930s began with consumers cutting back, the decade also saw a revolution in design. Everywhere the emphasis was on efficiency. Cars, trains, and airplanes were "streamlined," allowing them to cut through the air more easily. But the idea of "Streamline Moderne," as it was called, was also applied to radios, toasters, and even buildings. By the mid-1930s the elaborate patterns and ornament of Art Deco were out. Sleek lines and simple, rounded curves were in. In clothing, too, efficiency and simplicity were key words. Americans began to buy low-cost copies of French fashions, or they made their own. In the late 1930s, this simplicity would emerge as a distinctively American style. Everyday clothes became simpler and more versatile. Dresses were designed to be worn with accessories. This made each dress suitable for more than one occasion and was an important way of saving money. Influences on the style of men's clothes ranged from Hollywood to the British royal family. The Depression changed the way Americans lived their lives. Many had to get used to unemployment or low pay. In 1931, ninety-five people died from malnutrition in Immigrants who arrived in the As the Depression deepened, attendance at church declined. Many of the poor were ashamed of their new status. Others turned away in despair. The churches where numbers rose tended to be conservativ...
