it's VERY windy in spokane today! at least it's clear & warm, and snow or
rain. tired of the dark dreary days.
i'll enjoy looking at the 1940 census, but i don't need it for my research. my
parents were born in 1920 & 1922, & they told me all the info i needed, so i
really started using the pre-1890 censuses. still, it was fun to see my parents listed as
children on the 1930 census!

Hi Everyone,
I am forwarding this from another list I am on. I made sure to bookmark it.
Once you get there, there is a video you can watch. But then you can click on
the archives link as well and it brings up more information.
Hope everyone has a great day! We are getting 30-40 mph winds and rain today,
so hope I don't blow away. Darn. . . I can't go fishing! LOL

This is the web link you will access on April 2, 2012 to view the 1940 Census.
This is the only place you will find this Census on April 2, 2012, the release
date. It will be months before they appear on other web sites. However, on April
2 you have to slog through. Later they will be indexed and online. In other
years this has taken years. The 1930 census took under a year. They hope the
1940 census will be available by the end of summer. It really depends on how
many people volunteer to index and how much time each can give.
It will probably be a challenge to get a connection 24/7 the first week or so.
