Attention Genealogists:
 |
The 1940 Federal Census was released on April 2, 2012. |
|
The National
Archives and Records Administration will be providing
free online access to the 1940
census at
1940census.archives.gov.
Researchers may to search the 1940 census using NARA's
public access computers at any NARA archival location or
using any other computer connected to the internet. |
|
A name index does
not exist for the 1940 census. However,
Ancestry.com and
FamilySearch have both announced plans to index the census
after it opens. |
|
You can locate
people by identifying the enumeration district in which
they lived in 1940 and then browsing the census population
schedules for that enumeration district. The National
Archives has placed copies of the enumeration district
maps and descriptions in NARA's Online Public Access
catalog (OPA). For more information go to How to Start
Your 1940 Census Research |
|
You may now access the entire 1940 census at the library
through
Ancestry
Library Edition. All census images have been
loaded and Ancestry is in the process of indexing the
entire 1940 census. |
