Debbie Wishful thinking on your part. The 1940 census will not be available till 2012. The census is held for 72 years. Arleen

Wondering if anyone has heard anything about the U.S. 1940 census which should be available in two years. Has ancestry.com or LDS said anything about indexing/transcribing the census? I remember when the 1930 census was made public, very little, if any (can't remember now) had been indexed/transcribed and we had to wait for ancestry.com to do the job. Just curious. Debbie

I don't know much about what the Wisconsin Historical Society has to offer (never having dealt with them myself), but this record in their database looks promising: http://www.wisconsinhistory.org/vitalrecords/index.asp?id=213519&record_type=wni The site gives this description of the name index (in which the record appears): "The Wisconsin Name Index includes 150 county and local histories, dozen of professional directories and biographical encyclopedias, more than 60 scrapbooks containing 30,000 obituaries, and selected articles in Wisconsin magazines and newspapers. These publications were indexed by Wisconsin Historical Society librarians between roughly 1870 and 1970 but contain information on individuals from earlier date ranges." There are others with the surname that appear in the same database. Hope this helps.

I just noticed there will NOT be an index available when the 1940 US Census is released. Researchers will be required to know the Enumeration District in the city or town where the ancestors lived. Apparently Steve Morse is working on a project to create a free time- saving tool to address this. For those of us going to the Chicago conference will probably get a first-hand explanation about what the project entails. -- Alan On Aug 21, 2008, at 12:59 PM, Debbie Greenlee wrote: > Wondering if anyone has heard anything about the U.S. 1940 census > which should be available in two years.

Perhaps this question might seem to have a rather obvious answer to it, but I have relatives who are or were living in the Adams / Portage, Wisconsin area named Gavinski (was Gawinski). I have the family information up to the 1930 census, but that is as far as I can go. My Great Grandmother, born in 1861 in Slesin, Bydgoszcz, Poznan, Poland (Bromberg, Posen, Prussia at the time) married an Ignatz Gawinski in Lemont, IL around 1882. About 1900 they moved to Adams, Wisconsin to farm in that area. My Great Grandmother's maiden name was Marianna Chrapkowska. She lived past 1930 and consequently, I do not have a date of death for her. I do have a photo of my father with his arm around her that has "Portage - Adams 1936 - Ed with his Grandmother" written on the back. I'm assuming she lived past 1936. If anyone has advice for me on how to go about following this line of my family after 1930, I would appreciate any and all suggestions. John

Debbie, Thank you for your help. I have found the record of my Grandmothers Baptism. It is a start to finding her family in poland. The original document that I had was hand written by a priest some 25 years after she and her parents left poland. It was written in old German script. When I had it translated it said she was from lasin Gruzdenz West Prussia. It said her Mother's maiden name was Marianna Oleji zu Rittershausen. The record I found on the LDS film says her name is Marianna Olejiu (it is hard to read). The place where she was born is Rittershausen. (Again hard to read). When I tried to find Rittershausen I can not find it. The last name is the same that is on the Death record I found before on a LDS film. So I know that there was a child before grandmom. Do you know if there is a Rittershausen or was that a town in 1880 West Prussia? I looked at a few maps and can find nothing. Again thanks Sam **************It's only a deal if it's where you want to go. Find your travel deal here. (http://information.travel.aol.com/deals?ncid=aoltrv00050000000047)

Hi Ed,I live in Greenpoint. There is a massive Polish population here, and I'm pretty certain that there must be some people here who do lessons professionally, -- or would be willing to do lessons privately, probably pretty reasonably. Let me look around town. Have you checked CraigsList? That might work.
