Have you used census records to track down long-lost relatives or complete your family tree?

If so, we wanna hear about it.

To illustrate the importance of participating in the 2020 census so your descendants might someday find a record of you, The News is looking for video stories from folks who have used census records to track down their own ancestors.

Use your smartphone to shoot a short, five- to 10-minute video of yourself telling your story and use the form below to upload the video. We’ll compile those videos in a special section on our website. (Can’t see the form, try clicking here.)
