I am still learning but have viewed my first image.
https://www.familysearch.org/
Enter surname and residence 1940 as minimum.
Can see the transcription but to see the image I had to sign in.
the image is either to small or to big but I hold down mouse key and drag.
Update
Hold down control on keyboard and turn scroll wheel to resize.
