Yesterday, Stanczyk wrote about some of the questions he was able to answer and also some of the interesting new pieces of information too. Today I wanted to list my finds:

- 1940Census_ED95_221_SHT3A_EliaszVincent.jpg

So I found: Eliasz, Gawlik, Gronek, Hajek, Kedzierski, Leszczynski, Mylek, Nadolny, Sobieszczanski, Solomon and Vespek.
The Locales involved so far are: Detroit, Toledo, Buffalo/Depew, Philadelphia, and Cleveland.
I have a folder on my computer titled, Source Documents. Within that folder, I have many sub folders for a wide variety of genealogical sources (Birth, Marriage, Death, etc.) and also a Census sub folder too. Some of those folders also have sub folders to organize like kinds of documents.
I have settled on a naming convention for these 1940 Census records that I wanted to point out:
1940Census, ED, District_SubDistrict, Sheet#, DescriptiveOf Person(s)
This naming standard is really meta-data about the picture of the document.
I use ‘jpg’ despite its flaws because it can be posted to the Internet. The file name is also a kind of source documentation. I can easily go back to the source from the file name and get a new copy. Also if you are a related genealogist, the above list can aid you to go get your own copy (from Ancestry, MyHeritage, Archives.com, or FamilySearch).
