    3. You may want to use the NARA website. http://1940census.archives.gov/<http://1940census.archives.gov/> You need to use the enumeration district.

I have the > enumeration district.. Yes, it is online at several sources for free, and will be for quite a while. Browsing by ED number is easiest at the government site, and much faster if you download the whole ED, unless you have very limited bandwidth. http://1940census.archives.gov/getting-started/ > Can I find anyone in queens or brooklyn by name? Maybe, name search is available for the whole state of New York for free at Ancestry.com, and the images are free as well: http://search.ancestry.com/search/db.aspx?dbid=2442 But indicate the state of New York in the dropdown and choose exact match, or you could get results from other states as well. > Can I find by the enumeration district??? You can try, I am not sure how good the search engine is with using that as criteria in a name search, you would have to experiment. > Tried Steve morse for the enumeration district but couldnt get to the > page.... If none of the above suggestions help, you will need to provide more details so people can diagnose why you could not get to the page. It is not clear how far you got or which page you could not get to. If you are not happy with Ancestry's search engine, FamilySearch.org will soon have a name search for New York State as well. Indexing (without name search) was at 96% for NY, as of last night at FamilySearch. I have a list of all the sites carrying the 1940 census for free, including daily updates about indexing progress, on the following page, click on Free Census Records on the left menu, and scroll down to the 1940 information: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~thecohens/resources.html
