I indexed for the 1940 Census but can’t remember how to get started. I would like to assist with the Freedmen’s Project.
The prompts listed didn’t work for me. What must I do?

I never met any of my grandparents. My parents have passed away. My dad would be 95 and my mom would be 93 this year. I don’t know much about my grandparents only that they grew up in slavery .. I would love to know about my family my mother Maiden name is Alice G. Mourning from NC and my dad’s name is Willie R Griggs from VA. if I can find out anything about my grandparents, I will forever be grateful.
