11. I've been scanning through the 1940 Census like crazy

Ancestry.com doesn't have it indexed yet, so I can't do a name search.
I've been fixated on a certain area of Pennsylvania for years due to genealogy research.
I was really hoping that my great Auntie was still alive. Couldn't find her. I'm hoping that when they index it fully that I'll find her. Side note. I found myself sort of sad seeing such a big change in citizenry from the 1930's to 1940's.
