usnatarchives: Just 32 days left until the release of the 1940 Census… It’s also the 140th birthday of Yellowstone National Park! The park was included in the many enumeration maps made for the 1940 census. These maps are important because the 1940 Census does not have a name index. To search for a family, you will need to know the address where they lived. If you have the address of an ancestor from 1940, find the address on the map and then look for the enumeration district number for that address. The ED number may be a two part number separated by a hyphen. The first number represents the county number and the second number the number of the enumeration district within that county. Save the enumeration district numbers for the opening of the 1940 Census on April 2, 2012. You will be able to search the digitized copies of the census by ED number and then browse for your family members’ census entry.
