[or-roots] Progress report on 1940 census

[Linda Wiley]

T.thanks for the link, Sue.  I spent some time trying to find someone in Portland the other day--ED numbers from 1930 were completely different.  Will try this!  Linda W

So find them in the 1930 census and find the enumeration district.

Then go to 1940Census.archives.gov    Scroll down a little ways and click on "Get Started".  Then scroll down to "Start Your Search" and click on that.  You will come up with a "Search box" with two options, select "Search by Enumeration Districts".  You can enter the State and the 1930 Enumeration District and then view what the 1940 ED is.  Then go from there in your search.

                          the first night, just to say I got started.
