Researchers will be able to search the 1940 Census using the public computers at National Archives facilities nationwide, or personal computers with Internet access. For general information on the census which includes a list of all of the questions asked go to this web site: http://www.archives.gov/research/census/1940/general-info.html#questions Remember as of right now, the census is NOT indexed by person. You have to know where your ancestor lived (enumeration district) in order to find any information. There are several volunteer projects that will begin in April 2012 to index by person. In the meantime knowing the Enumeration districts will be helpful and I have put them together below...........Lynn Cunningham" Enumeration Districts for 1940 Census: State: Alabama County: 9 Chambers 1940 S.D. 5 1930 1940 Description of Enumeration Districts E.D.
