anyone able to access the 1940 census?

[tru]

I've been trying to get to the map, given a street and a cross street, and it hangs on preparing image.

1. I had the same issue a couple of hours ago. nt

2. I did, just a few minutes ago.

When I did access the maps, they take a few seconds to focus. Kinda hard on the eyes.
Was trying to find my Mom and her family in a small Pennsylvania town, and I will have to look through
EVERY page to find them, as the descriptions of the district boundaries didn't help me pinpoint
the district she lived in. AAARRRGGGG. I'm just going to wait until 1940 is totally online and searchable.

3. Still fails for me. n/t

7. Can you tell me if there is any information for Wayne County, Michigan up yet? nt.

I just found his Death and Burial Information! He died in 1941 ...... I was so hoping the 1940 census would give me a hint as to whether he was still living then ...... but I now know the exact date and cemetery. This is great! [IMG][/IMG] I will be very happy to find him on the 1940 census, however.

10. Hi there. Sorry it took me so long to reply to your question. Was out all morning.

Just did a check and they don't have anything for Michigan yet. I'm looking to find my
Dad there in 1940, so I'm waiting on that state just like you! When Michigan shows up,
I'll let you know.

6. Thank you for posting that!

The Kansas town my Dad grew up in is on there, so I'm happily hunting for his family.

My husband found some kin in Indiana this morning on Ancestry.

Not all states are listed, but NY is, and I just viewed some stuff for Malone, NY.


PS...I sort of got a kick out of this...

11. LOL! I wonder what you had to do -

to NOT be considered a 'deserving old lady!' What a hoot.
Can't wait to see what other gems show up.
