Getting Ready for the 1940 Census:
Searching without a Name Index 
with Steve Morse

Open Forum: Using U.S. Census Records
with Steve Harris

This class is full!

When the 1940 census is released in April 2012, it will not have a name index. Such an index will not be available for perhaps up to six months after opening day. So finding people in the census will involve searching by location instead.

The census is organized by Enumeration Districts (EDs), so the location needs to be converted to an ED before the census can be accessed. The One-Step website contains numerous tools for obtaining EDs. This talk will present the various tools and show circumstances in which each can be used. It will also demonstrate a tutorial quiz for determining the best tool to use in each specific situation.

Immediately following the presentation on the 1940 Census, Steve Harris will facilitate an open forum on using U.S. Census Records. 

Our question & answer session will certainly help with definitely be enlightening and informative!
