Brevard Genealogical Society has joined the 1940 U.S. Census Community Project to help
index the 1940 U.S. Federal Census! Indexing records from our state,
we will be an essential part of this monumental grass-roots effort
that will put one of the richest genealogical data sets in the world
online, complete and free of charge forever.
Go to the1940census.com/society and
register to participate with our society. Simply select <society
name> on the profile screen when creating your account. Every new
person indexing with our society gets us closer to milestones that
qualify us for incentives provided by the sponsors of the project, so
sign up today!
Thank you in advance for your
participation. We look forward to the impact this resource will have
for researchers of our area and so many others.
Rel@ively,
Patrice
About the 1940 Census Community
Project
On April 2, 2012, images of the 1940
U.S. Federal Census will be released for the first time. Unlike
previous census years, images of this census will be made available
as free digital images.
Upon its release, the 1940 U.S. Census
Community Project, a joint initiative between Archives.com,
FamilySearch, findmypast.com, and other leading genealogy societies
and organizations, will coordinate efforts to provide quick access to
these digital images and immediately start indexing these records to
make them searchable online with free and open access.
Interest in the
1940 U.S. Census is both significant and sentimental because it
documents what is often referred to as “The Greatest Generation”
of U.S. citizens. As a group, these are individuals who:
• Survived the Great Depression
• Fought in the Second World War
• Innovated technology (TV,
Microwave)
There are many people still alive today
who will be able to find themselves in the 1940 U.S. Federal Census.
Others will be able to readily connect with relatives they knew
personally or through family stories. Imagine the great resource this
will be to current and future society members!
