The 1940 US census index is now 99% complete! It's hard to believe that we began just 4 months ago. Thank you for your help!

Congratulations to Root Cellar team and all the other teams and individuals who participated in this one project. Please continue. Find another project and continue indexing and helping to get all records into public accessablilty.
I am hard at work weekly transcribing/indexing California records at the Center of Sacramento History and almost nightly doing some indexing of other records other than the 1940 Census for those who are searching for these records in hopes that someone(s) in Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York and Connecticut are hard at work indexing their records for me. Thank you in advance.
