Navigating the 1940 U.S. Census - free webinar now online by Thomas MacEntee


If you have ancestors in the 1940 U.S. Census you need to watch the recording of today's webinar by Thomas MacEntee. He taught about:
  • what information will you find in the census?
  • how to locate the images (since there is no index yet)
  • how to volunteer to index the census
  • the one-step tools at the Stephen Morse site
  • other census resources
Another great presentation Thomas! One viewer commented, "I would NEVER have been able to search the 1940 census without this seminar! WONDERFUL PRESENTATION!" I couldn't agree more.
At the end, I had the pleasure of announcing the brand new Census Searching tools in Legacy Family Tree. The new tool, which will create a report of all persons who would have been alive in 1940 so you know who to search for, will be available in a free update of Legacy within the next day or two. The tool will also work for censuses around the world. Stay tuned....
