Get Expert Help Searching for Ancestors on the Soon to be Released 1950 Census
GSSCC Lecture Series — Getting Ready for the 1950 Census: Searching With and Without a Name Index, Stephen Morse, presenter
Tuesday, February 1, 1 – 2:30pm
When the 1950 Census will be released in April 2022, it will not have a name index. So finding people in the census will involve searching by location instead. Even when a name index becomes available, there will still be many reasons for doing locational searches.
