Yes it will be available April 2, but only to search by location, not by name. This is what Family search say's “Unlike previous census years, images of the 1940 U.S. Federal Census will be made available as free digital images.” On April 2, 2012, NARA will provide access to the images of the 1940 United States Federal Census for the first time. Unlike previous census years, images of the 1940 U.S. Federal Census will be made available as free digital images. Upon its release, FamilySearch and its partners will coordinate efforts to provide quick access to these digital images and immediately start indexing these records to make them searchable online for free and open access.

There area lot of transcribers registered that will jump on it and help transcribe the census once it is released. Easier to do than some of the lists available for transcription at the present time. Just get your friends and family to register at family search.org who are always in need of transcribers. I am 81 and have been doing it for eons. vmb ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dee's Genealogy" <dees.genealogy@gmail.com> To: <ontario@rootsweb.com>; "'Susan Fowler'" <smfowler1@rogers.com> Sent: Tuesday, February 28, 2012 12:26 AM Subject: Re: [ONTARIO] 1940 US Census >I checked the below listed Archive website and it says release date is 2 > April 2012. > > Dee > > ============== > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Joyce Stevens" <joycestevens@twmi.rr.com> > To: "'Susan Fowler'" <smfowler1@rogers.com>; <ontario@rootsweb.com> > Sent: Monday, February 27, 2012 3:55 PM > Subject: Re: [ONTARIO] 1940 US Census > > >> Wrong--------------- >> Reasdfay 4//12 >> >> -----Original Message----- >> From: ontario-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:ontario-bounces@rootsweb.com] >> On >> Behalf Of Susan Fowler >> Sent: Monday, February 27, 2012 2:21 PM >> To: ontario@rootsweb.com >> Subject: Re: [ONTARIO] 1940 US Census >> >> Hi Gail, the way I understand it is they are going to start transcribing >> it >> on April 2, when the government releases it.
