X Marks the Spot
You may have noticed the circled Xs that appear in 1940 census records. They were completely new for that census year and, although the meaning of them is explained on the census itself, it is tucked away and many people overlook it. These Xs actually represent the “name of person furnishing information,” as described in the descriptive area of column 1.
