1940 census

1940 census

Ready to see your family on the 1940 census? So are we! Here a few things to keep in mind. First there is no census index. Second, You will need to know the address of your family during that time. If they didn't move between 1930 and 1940 there is a 1930 to '40 census converter. Third getting online to see it may be slow since by now the word is out and everybody is looking at one! Lastly, remember NO ONE has looked at or had access to these records till now.....so NO ONE has been secretly indexing or producing them for you viewing pleasure. That means you state may or may not be up yet. Be patient. And keep checking. In the meantime get familiar with the process of how to find your people by going to Steve Morse's One Step Guide 

 

By the way if you are still confused, join a brief class on Wednesday, April 25th, to get help. There will also be an Ancestry. com basics class on the 28th. See the tab above marked "classes and events" for details.

 

No. I'm going ancestor hunting.....
