Get Started button to begin searching more than 132 million names! On the first day of its release the website
received over 22.5 million hits – which slowed everything down. Before you start searching on this site it is

You will need to know the Enumeration District (ED) that your ancestor lived
in (which is most likely different from a previous census). You can do the tutorial to find your enumeration

questions that will help determine the ED by narrowing down the address where
they lived in 1940. If you already know the address click on the Unified ED Finder button.
