Free Printable 1940 Census Extraction Form
A blank form with every question on the 1940 U.S. federal census population schedule. Records where each person lived on April 1, 1935, the highest grade of school completed, and 1939 income.
Copying a census page onto a form with labeled columns makes it much easier to read every answer, especially when the enumerator's handwriting is faint or the headings are cut off in the image. Records where each person lived on April 1, 1935, the highest grade of school completed, and 1939 income.
Columns the Census Office used only for its own statistical codes are left out. Copy the whole household, plus a few neighbors on either side, since relatives often lived next door. For what each column means and how to use it, see How to Read the U.S. Federal Census.
