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

February 13, 2012 from 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM

When the 1940 census is released in April 2012, it will not have a name index, so finding people in the census will initially require searching by location instead. The census is organized by Enumeration Districts (EDs), so locations will need to be converted to an ED before the census can be accessed. Steve Morse's One-Step Website contains numerous tools for obtaining EDs. Steve will present those tools and show circumstances in which each can be used. He will also demonstrate a tutorial quiz for determining the best tool to use in each situation.
