So far, I think the archives.gov site is the better of the two. They allow you to put in a cross-street as well, which really narrowed down my search. I found the enumeration district on a 1930 census and I already knew the street address. I put that into Google maps and found the cross-streets. My grandparents were on image 28 of 34, so it still took some patience, but I found them! Question: Does anybody know how/where to get a blank copy of the 1940 census? Ancestry provides blank copies for all the others, but I didn't see one there. Thanks and good luck!

For a blank copy of the 1940 census go to: http://www.archives.gov/research/census/1940/1940.pdf Elvina ----- Original Message ----- From: Susan Stuart To: [email protected] Sent: Thursday, April 05, 2012 2:51 PM Subject: Re: [NORCAL] Luck with 1940 census images today So far, I think the archives.gov site is the better of the two.
