Across all the websites hosting 1940 census records, a total of 27
states now have free, searchable name indexes for this census.

FamilySearch has
added four more searchable state indexes to its
1940 census indexed states we listed last week: Alabama, Indiana, Maine
and North Dakota.

The indexes are searchable on FamilySearch.org and
its volunteer 1940
Census Community Project partners findmypast.com and Archives.com.

On Ancestry.com,
Delaware, Maine, Nevada, New York and Washington DC are
searchable by name.

MyHeritage.com has
Rhode Island and part of New York indexed.

In addition to its 1940 census indexes, FamilySearch has added new digitized records
or indexed names for the United States and Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Chile,
China, Czech Republic, England, Georgia, Indonesia, Italy, Peru, Philippines, Poland,
Portugal, Russia, Scotland, Spain and Sweden. You
can see a list of updated databases and link to each one from the FamilySearch site.
