Hi, Yes, trying to find an enumeration district for one's family can be a pain. I finally found my parent's family. I used what it said on line for the district. Well we were not there. I did several on either side of the district but still did not find it. I had a complete circle around where we lived at the time. It was interesting reading because I knew someone who was in all of the districts. I finaly found my family 4 days later. I just happened to hit on a site where you could put in the exact address. Don't ask because I can't find it again. I did know the address. I put it in and finally found my family. The number of the district turned out to be about 75 numbers off from the ones that I was looking at. Go figure. Some of the people in those districts that I looked at only lived a block away from me. My husband's family was another story. He lived in a small place where there were only two districts. I never found him. No loss,however, because I found his grandparents and even a great grandfather. I also found lots of Aunts, Uncles, cousins etc. I'll wait until they get them indexed for the rest. I quit looking. Velma

Velma, Why don't YOU volunteer to index ? Many states are still in the need of indexers. Even at 100,000, still needed. We already indexed 20 million persons as of yesterday per announcement to indexers and arbitrators. "We've had an amazing week and a half since the 1940 US census project started. We've already indexed 20 million records and arbitrated 10 million. We've broken records almost every day. Thank you to all involved! (And to those participating in other projects, we indexed and arbitrated 7 million additional records in the same time. Thank you!)' For the indexers and arbitrators who haven't seen the messages from the headquarters yesterday, please sign in and see two important messages.

Velma it was probably stevemorse.org where you could put in the address <G> Eliz On Sun, Apr 15, 2012 at 1:00 AM, <vjspringer@aol.com> wrote: > > Hi, > > Yes, trying to find an enumeration district  for one's family can be a pain.  I finally found my parent's family.  I used what it said on line for the district.  Well we were not there.
