1940 Census Will be Free on
Ancestry.com

Subscription genealogy website
Ancestry.com has decided to make the 1940 census images and
index—which will be on
the site after the 1940 census is opened next year for research—free to
search and view through 2013.
That’ll be more than 3.8 million images with 130 million records.
Even better, they’ll be indexed by 45 fields, meaning you’ll be able to
search on the name, street address, county, state, parents’ birthplaces
and more.
The records won’t be on
Ancestry.com right when the census is
released April 2, 2012. Ancestry.com’s press release says they’ll
commence “streaming onto the website in mid-April 2012.”
Can’t wait until mid-April? The record images will be available first on the National
Archives’ website, but they won’t be searchable right away by name. Click here to see our
post about finding your ancestors’ 1940 census enumeration district.
Get help with your census research—including preparing for the release of the 1940 census
records—in the May 2010 Family Tree Magazine.
