1940 U.S. Census Indexing Update from FamilySearch

Here's the latest from FamilySearch:


The 1940 U.S. census indexing project was launched this April as part of a broad online community effort. Images and indexing projects for all states and territories in the 1940 census are now online. Of all the different types of historic records available to index, volunteers love census records the most, and it shows in the record-breaking levels of activity we’ve seen in the past three weeks. 
  • Over 85,000 volunteers have already completed 20 percent of the census project.
  • A record number of active indexers used the program in a single day—34,947 volunteers. 
  • In one day more than 3.2 million records were indexed and 1.5 million were arbitrated. 
Remember, this work is being accomplished by volunteers, and they keep coming: thousands are still signing up weekly. As a result, millions of people will soon be able to search every name that was recorded in the 1940 U.S. census. Follow this never before seen indexing progress at FamilySearch.org.
