1940 U.S. Census Community Project Nearly Halfway Complete 22 May 2012 The halfway point for indexing the 1940 U.S. census is fast approaching.    Congratulations and thank you to all of the volunteers participating in this unprecedented genealogical community effort. Currently more than 20 states are at or above 85 percent complete. Six states—Delaware, Colorado, Kansas, Oregon, Virginia, and New Hampshire—are now indexed and searchable by name, location, and family relations. And thanks to the efforts of more than 100,000 volunteers, more states will be added in the coming weeks. Follow the day-to-day indexing status at the1940census.com dashboard and search completed states at familysearch.org/1940census.   Current and Completed Projects To view a list of currently available indexing projects, along with their record language and completion percentage, visit the FamilySearch indexing updates page.
