Got the Census note. Need to do it online

[question everything]

What about the ones who do not do "online?" And, depriving the postal service of rich revenue..

Oh well

1. They should have waited to send it out.

I received mine in the mail a few days ago. And then I received a follow-up reminding me to do it. Haven't gotten around to it yet.

It does say that if you haven't responded online within a few weeks, they will send out the paper version. So they are trying to save money, while still reaching out to the people who do not have internet access.

How they can expect to get a large response, when everyone is so busy trying to stay alive, is beyond me.

Talk about bad timing.

2. It's pretty straightforward, except the ethnicity question.

They want to know the country(ies) your ancestors came from. So, for example, you can't just say "Caucasian." You have to further classify your ancestry as Danish, Irish, or whatever. I should have put that my ancestors were from Africa, since EVERYBODY'S ancestors are from Africa!!

3. They cover that in the second notice.

They will "mail a paper questionnaire to your address in a few weeks."


I finally did mine on line early this morning. I tried several times last night but the the program crashed before letting me complete the required information.
