The IPUMS collection includes samples from 1850 to 2000. The year 1890 is missing; unfortunately, the records were destroyed by fire. 1930 is also missing.
Checked years will be included in the request and listed in the request information in the bottom pane of the Microdata panel. Do not deselect all years. You must have at least one year chosen for the import to work. The further back in time you go, the fewer attributes are available, because the Census Bureau asked fewer questions in the past. To see whether a particular attribute is available for the years you’re interested in, point your mouse at the attribute, and read its information in Fathom’s status bar (in the lower left of the Fathom window).
