Saturday Night Genealogy Fun - Are You Ready for 1950 U.S. Census?

It's Saturday Night -

time for more Genealogy Fun!

Our mission is to:

1) The 1950 United States Census will be available to search on 1 April 2022 - less than three weeks away. How have you prepared yourself to search it? Have you found 1950 addresses of your family members and persons of interest? Have you identified the State, County, Town and Enumeration District? Have you made a table of your findings so you can systematically find everyone on your list? What will you do with the information you gather?

2) Tell us about it in your own blog post, in a comment to this post, or in a Facebook post. Be sure to leave a link with your answers in a comment.

Here's mine:

I have been prepping for the upcoming release of the 1950 federal census and have written four blog posts about it.

1950 Census Prep for Norman’s Paternal Relatives
1950 Census Prep for Norman’s Maternal Relatives
1950 Census Prep: Paternal Relatives
1950 Census Prep: Maternal Relatives


In each post I created a table with the information of the names, addresses, and ED numbers. Below is the composite table for all of the people I hope to locate in the 1950 census, sorted by ED number. Some family members will be difficult to find, as I do not know their address. Those must wait for searching in an index.

  1. Wow! Do you have a long list of people to find and they are spread out all over the country. My husband has distant relatives in Hopkinsville and Lafayette County, but they were there by 1850. Hope you find lots of great information about all of them.

    1. Yes, I have a lot to look for when doing genealogy for both myself and my husband's side. I'm looking forward to browsing.
