By Extra Extra | 04.16.2012

With the release of the 1940 census on April 2, The Orange County Register looks at how remarkably different Orange County, California was 72 years ago.

Ron Campbell put together a package that includes interviews with participants in the 1940 census, video, family photos, then and now, historic photos, a how-to-guide to researching the 1940 census and a chart comparing Orange County population in 1940 and in 2010.
