Known Issues
Question #1: The images for Ohio, enumeration districts 71-1 to 71-4 are not available on FamilySearch. Will they be available in the future? Answer #1: Images (about 78) for these districts were never delivered by the National Archives and Records Administration ( NARA). FamilySearch will be working with NARA to procure those images and publish them with the 1940 U.S. Census Collection online.

Question #2. When I search for images in 1940 U.S. Census, New Jersey, Hudson County, Hoboken ED 9-141 thru 9-160, I get the wrong image. It also appears that these images are repeated in later pages. How can I get the correct images. Answer #2 The images in the 1940 U.S. Census collection at FamilySearch were published as they were received from the National Archives and Records Administration ( NARA). It appears that the first 393 images were overwritten and replaced with the images from the second half of the film, in reverse order, resulting is missing, mislinked and disordered images.

FamilySearch will be working with NARA to get the images in correct order and to procure the missing images. A suggested workaround for disordered records is the browse the entire set of records to locate the correct image. Question #3: I am unable to read the details of the image at Alabama&gt;Conecuh &gt; Election Precinct 13 &gt; 18-19 Election Precinct 13 Repton outside Repton Town, image number 16. Can I find out the details of this image? Answer #3: This entire page is duplicated on Image 18.
