I already found out when my great grandmother ended up in Washington DC where she eventually met my great grandfather, where they lived in the same apartment complex as her parents.

What I really need though, is the MA census done. My grandfather was a toddler at that point, and I am missing who his mother was, and the only other info I can find is from some nitwit on ancestory.com who has information that is clearly incorrect. This census should hopefully uncover that.

The overall indexing is about 2/3rds done. Just a matter of time.

1940 Census: I found several of my ancestors, including my dad, on Family Search yesterday. Sure beats doing the original street search when the 1940 Census first came out in April!

I found my first step-mother's maiden name and when they were married, which I didn't know, and that has lead to much more info.

Ancestry.com have several more states done, including some states that FamilySearch.org seemed to neglect. Despite having more states indexed and searchable than ACOM, 4 of the states FamilySearch haven't finished are available at ACOM.
