Tips re working on 1940 Census on FamilySearch
» To view other areas of the census image, click & drag rather than scroll.
» When you download a 1940 cenus image from FamilySearch.org, the filename is “record image”. Be sure to rename immediately.
» Suggest determining a naming convention such as 1940census-DoeJohn-Etowah-AL.jpg. Do not change the extension or the file becomes unreadable.
