My friends, I've been making an effort to work on my personal Hungarian genealogy research over the last few weeks. I've learned so much about Hungarians coming to American over many years time, and I absolutely love to research!
As some of you may know the 1940 US Census will be available to the public early April of this year, but because of the explosion in population (as compared with the 1930) it could be years before there is a searchable index.
That means that researchers are trying to determine an address (supposing they family didn't move since the 1940, using City Directories, or World War II draft or enlistment information, and then find the ED (Enumeration District) for the 1940 to get to the right part of the film as fast as possible. The film will be available from the National Archives digitalized (on the Internet).
I'm putting links about this on the sidebar!
1940 is an interesting time for Hungarian families who came to the United States at the Turn of the Century or during the Great Age of Industrialization. At this point most have married and have had families and some of those children have grown into adulthood. Many of you who are reading this may be the children, grandchildren, or great-grandchildren of those immigrants who helped make America great.
