The Moment We're All Waiting For

For three months now I've had a burning, yearning, yearning, feeling inside me...deep inside me, that's inching towards the surface.  Okay, so that last part wasn't what you were expecting....

I have actually been wondering about the 1940 U.S. Census. As most of you know, that year's Census record is due to be released in 2012, and I'm sure I'm not the only geneablogger who is starting to get excited about it.  So today I sought some answers about the release of this important record.

The census for the year 1940 will be released on 2 Apr 2012. It will be digitized and released to the National Archives. It will also be available to those who have access to the Internet. It is very exciting indeed.

Today I found a site I'd like to share that has a wealth of information and suggestions relating to the 1940 U.S. Census.  It is informative, easy to understand, and straight from the horse's mouth.  You can read about the release of this database and much more at 1940 Census Records.  There are also links to other aids to help researchers prepare for this important event. Not to mention to links to help researchers with the Census Records for any year.
