Did a little more research. You can get full census data for the 1940 census as data is released 72 years after the census is taken. Unfortunately the data is presented in images not data files (There is also no Hispanic breakdown at all).
Found a research paper that had an interesting way building the first-name/ethnicity data. They looked at names on wikipedia and what ethnic categories they were assigned to. Interesting and if I can find the results I will see what I can do with it, but I have only been able to find the abstract so far.
