Please forgive me while I bombard you with all things 1940 Census, but this is a perfect place to share some of the great images and videos I've seen in the last week or so.
I almost forgot this one! I found this on Ancestry's Facebook Page this morning. These are the hard drives holding all the Census data, right before NARA staff began uploading it online. Crazy!
Ancestry.com has a pretty fun blog called Sticky Notes. It's a great
space for every-day people and Ancestry staff can post things they find
and share stories. This specific page is high-lighting the 1940 Census record of the great Franklin D. Roosevelt. Pretty exciting. Click on the image to visit the site.
Here is one great example of photographs depicting a 1940 Census enumerator, going to the farthest corners of the country to make sure everyone got recorded.
And lastly, this is a pretty great site that I stumbled upon last week. It's a site sponsored by public and private genealogical organizations
who are devoted to making the 1940 Census accessible and understandable.
I signed up to be a blogger and indexer, and I'm super excited to join
their efforts!
