The index for the 1940 Census is online at familysearch.org. The link is a box for the 1940 Census either at the top or a little ways down the page. This should take you to a US map showing different colors of states, depending on their status.The orange states are available to search by the index and you must click on them to get to the correct page. Down below is a short list of states and their status and right below those you can click to see the status of all of the states. There is also an overall status for the indexing project. If you have any problem accessing this please let me know. Sue LeBlanc Can I find this index online ? I am confused.
