The 1940 U.S. Census Will Soon Be Online
The U.S. National Archives and Archives.com are working together to put the 1940 U.S. Census online and free of charge for the first time. The long wait involves a Federal 72-year privacy restriction. The 1940 Census contain the names of over 130 million U/S. residents. That Census Day was April 1, 1940, so records will be open and available on April 2, 2012 on a new website yet to be created.
