David, I don't quite understand what you have said. Ancestry has ALL images of all States, Counties, Districts, etc. Ancestry just does not yet have the residents' names indexed yet. Even at FamilySearch you still cannot search for a resident's name. If you go to FamilySearch there's no place to search by name.

George, Yes, there are places to search by name for 1940 Census in FamilySearch. 1. https://www.familysearch.org/#form=historical_records 2. https://familysearch.org/1940census/ click on orange colored states, the indexes are already online. FamilySearch also has ALL images online, even for the states not being done. Obvious you are not reading the announcements in past. David Samuelsen On 6/10/2012 10:07 PM, George W.

Familysearch.org has 17 searchable states <G> just awaiting arbitration are a lot of others. You can check http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~thecohens/resources.html for updates. As a note they are updating the 1930 as well. Eliz On Mon, Jun 11, 2012 at 12:07 AM, George W.
