Hi All,<\/p>\n
Today is a very exciting day. \u00a0The 1940 Census is now available!<\/p>\n

How to Access the 1940 Census in One Step by Stephen P. Morse, PhD\u00a0&<\/p>\n

Other sites are also in the process uploading the census images.<\/p>\n
They are:<\/p>\n
www.Ancestry.com<\/a><\/p>\n
www.Archives.com<\/a><\/p>\n
www.FamilySearch.org<\/a><\/p>\n
www.FindMyPast.com<\/a><\/p>\n
It may take a little while for the images to load as many people are<\/p>\n
on the 1940’s Census website, but should get faster as the day goes<\/p>\n
along.<\/p>\n
Also, over 100,000 volunteers will begin working on producing the<\/p>\n
index. \u00a0You may also join this indexing project.<\/p>\n
