Gold Medals to all ... but the Morse-Weintraub team are my heroes

All this talk about 1940 winners ...

How about we give gold medals to all the content providers working hard to bring the 1940 U.S. census images and indexing to our home screens and keyboards.


There are some real heroes, though. For me, it's the Stephen P. Morse-Joel D. Weintraub team who brought us the Unified 1940 Census ED Finder.




As far as winners go, personally, I think we genealogists are the winners on this release! Thank you to the content providers and technologists from me and my fine furry friends!

  1. I have been so pleased to see quite a number of folks, also, who have not been previously much involved in genealogy actually looking up and commenting/posting on their discoveries in the 1940 Census. Everyone wins. Thanks to all. Great post!

  2. Ha! I have enjoyed reading about the early census finds. Warms my heart a bit to see folks connecting with this bit of history. --GJ
