If you are like me and just don’t have the time to trawl
through the newly released 1940 census pages and so are waiting for them to be
indexed, well, findmypast.com has a new feature to make this practically
hassle-free ...
If you tell us who you
are searching for in 1940, we will email you once we've tracked them down.
The only information we
need is which state the person was living in at the time of the 1940 Census.
“As soon as that state is indexed, we will run a program against the data to
find the individual you’re looking for you and then email you the links we
find”, says Brian Speckart from findmypast.com. “We’re taking the hassle and
delay out of searching.”
Findmypast.com is the
new U.S.
I’ve signed up to have my dad searched for – this is the
first and only census where he will show up with his mother and father (his
father died a few years later). I’ve got
my fingers crossed! I’ll let you know
how it goes! And, if you use this
service, please let us know your experience!
Editor’s Note: You do have to be
registered with findmypast.com, which is free, to take advantage of this
service. When you submit a request, you
will get an acknowledgement, though, the acknowledgement doesn’t contain the
details you provided and so you may want to note those separately!
