Today is Wednesday and I have been busy indexing, indexing, indexing.   Have you found someone of  interest in the 1940's census yet?     Are you helping out too?    Familysearch.org needs lots of volunteers.   The sooner your state gets index, the sooner you can stop looking for them by district.   Happy Hunting :)  cg

Morning, more on the 1940 census.   Ancestry.com has all states downloaded for you to search by enumeration district (this means u need to know where they lived).  To find out where they lived or their district you can check in the 1930 census, city directories, 1940 was not that far away, ask mom or dad.  Ancestry has also indexed two states so you can search by name ie. Delaware, Nevada, and District of Columbia is in process.  Familysearch.org is not far behind.   They have all volunteers indexing.   Tidbits:  the x by a person's name means they gave the information to the enumerator.  Have you tried to get an answer about the 1940 census,  but haven't been able to get thru?  Tomorrow is free genealogy question Friday.   I am sure we all have questions.  cg

We are still updating you on the 1940 Census release.   Ancestry.com is free till April 10.   They announced that all states will be available by the close of  Friday.   You can check to see if your state is complete by going into Ancestry.com/1940 census.  Just a reminder, the census is not indexed yet.   You will have to know the address that your ancestors lived at so that you can find their enumeration district.   You will then have to go line by line to find them.   Just a few tidbits:   the X by the name means that this is the person who gave the information to the enumerator.  If you do not find your ancestor at the address you expected them to be at, try looking at the end of the census pages.   If they were not home, the enumerator went back and recorded them at the end.  cg
