First time that I try to fill in a Cunsus form, using the special tool. It look nice, but what mean all the abbreviations:
Some are for me clear, but other are for me - as Dutch - a little bit abracadabra (Dutch for Gibber ) I cannot find for all the connection with what is on the census list. or does somebody has the corresponding column with the US Census?
Who can help?

I don't understand the question.

What I tried to say is that the items on the Census 1940 (see 1940census.archives.gov ) are other than the items in webtrees.
FE: in webtrees you have AM, FBP and MBP, but in the 1940 Census not. In the 1940 Censu is asked for the educational level, but in webtrees not.
I hope this is explained some more clear.

If you can put all the details into a github issue, I will update it.

For example, Father's Birthplace & Mother's Birthplace was asked from 1880 - 1930
In 1900 & 1910 they asked for the month that each person was born, number of years married and (for women) number of children born & number still living.
Each Decennial census is independent.
This is my fault for responding while in the middle of something else, left off a thought...
Yes, Jopla, it looks like the Census Assistant form for US 1940 has the questions from the 1930 census, not the 1940 questions, but that changed sometime after December 2016. Before that it had a different, abbreviated set of census questions.
