The National Archives and Records Administration on Monday (April 2) will release the 1940 U.S. Census records in their entirety, offering a treasure trove of information to genealogists, researchers and anyone interested in preserving and perpetuating the stories of their ancestors.
Although you'll need patience -- the records aren't searchable by name yet. You can read the full story in the Daily Herald's edition from Sunday, April 1, 2012, or online at dailyherald.com.
