Stephen P. Morse on the 1950 Census

1:30 pm (EST)

The
moment we’ve been waiting for is soon upon us — the release of the 1950
Census!

Our
speaker this month is Stephen P. Morse, well-known among genealogists
for the search tools on his One-Step Webpages.

When
the 1950 census is released in April, 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.

Because
the census is organized by Enumeration Districts (EDs), the location needs to
be converted to an ED before the census can be accessed. The One-Step website contains numerous tools
for obtaining EDs. This talk will
present the various tools and show circumstances in which each can be used.
