Update on 1940 Census release.....Servers overwhelmed

I guess I was not the only one waiting for the release of the 1940 US Census Documents in digital format on April 2. The traffic was so high that it overwhelmed the servers. Here is a link to the USAToday article on the server issue.

I have not done any serious work with the data. I have just had fun with it so far. I looked up my grandparents, and the report included both my mother and father which was cool. I did notice how slow the website was, but I thought it was on my end and not related to traffic on their end. I guess I was wrong.
