List Members,
I am looking at this as a possible help for a relative I have not
found and wanted to share the resource with the list.
Age Search Service The Census Bureau provides an "age search" service
to the public:
We will search the confidential records from the Federal population
censuses of 1910 to 2000 and issue an official transcript of the
results (for a congressionally mandated fee).
NOTE: Information can be released only to the named person, his/her
heirs, or legal representatives.
Individuals can use these transcripts, which may contain information
on a person’s age, sex, race, State or country of birth, and
relationship to the householder, as evidence to qualify for social
security and other retirement benefits, in making passport
applications, to prove relationship in settling estates, in genealogy
research, etc., or to satisfy other situations where a birth or other
certificate may be needed but is not available.
Age Search Fact SheetFEE REQUIRED: $65 for a search of one census for
one person only.
Personal checks and money orders accepted. No credit
cards.
YEARS SEARCHED: 1910 through 2000.
ACCESS: Census records with individual names are not on
computer. They are on microfilm,
arranged according to the address at the time of the
census. Most agencies require
the earliest census after the date of birth.
REQUIRED: A completed BC-600 Application [PDF 142k] (Solicitud
Para Busqueda De Registros Censales [PDF 156k])
for Search of Census Records, signed by the person for
whom the search is to be
conducted. This person may authorize the results to be
sent to another
person/agency by also completing item 3 of the
application.
Minor children - Information regarding a child who has
not yet reached the legal age
of 18 may be obtained by written request of
either parent or guardian. A guardian
must provide a copy of the court order naming
them as such.
Mentally incompetent persons - Information regarding
these persons may be obtained
upon the written request of the legal
representative, supported by a copy of the
court order naming such legal representation.
Deceased persons - the application must be signed by
(1) a blood relative in the
immediate family (parent, child, brother,
sister, grandparent), (2) the surviving
wife or husband, (3) the administrator or
executor of the estate, or (4) a
beneficiary by will or insurance.
IN ALL CASES INVOLVING DECEASED PERSONS, a copy of the death
certificate MUST be provided and the relationship to the deceased MUST
be stated on the application. Legal representatives MUST also furnish
a copy of the court order naming such legal representatives, and
beneficiaries MUST furnish legal evidence of such beneficiary
evidence.
RESULTS: An official census transcript will list the person’s
name, relationship to household
head, age at the time of the census, and state of
birth. Citizenship will be provided
if the person was foreign born. Single items of data
such as occupation for Black Lung
cases can be provided upon request. If a person is not
found, a form will be sent with
that information.
Additional data on the same person (Full Schedule) -
The full schedule is the complete
one line entry of personal data recorded for that
individual ONLY. This will be furnished
in addition to the regular transcript. There is an
additional charge of $10.00 for each
full schedule. They are not available for 1970, 1980,
1990 and 2000.
TIME INVOLVED: The normal processing time is 3 to 4 weeks. Cases are
processed on a first in,
first out basis. Passport and other priority cases can
be processed in a week or less.
To expedite there is an additional $20.00 fee
required. To receive results within
three days, the application will need to be sent by
Next-Day Air via the Post Office,
Federal Express, or private carrier and enclose a pre-
paid express return envelope.
Applications can be faxed to you.
