The 1940 Census

Leslie's lecture tonight on the 1940 census, available on April 2nd, was excellent, as usual, and full of important information for all of us. If you missed it, you may be out of luck.

Suffice it to say that Steve Morse's site has a tutorial and everything else you need to learn how to navigate the new information. Since it is not indexed, you will need it.

(Happy Birthday, Fred!  The fudge was fabulous, too.)
