1950 US Census: I’m Here To Help!

You’ve probably spent some time over the last two weeks trying to find people in the 1950 US census (I know I have!).

But it’s not an easy task, especially without a solid index and the search tools that we’re used to on genealogy websites.

That said, I’ve created a variety of videos that address some of the issues and offer solutions and workarounds. Here’s what I’ve posted so far (more coming, so be sure to subscribe to my YouTube channel!):

• How to Find Your Family in the 1950 US Census Using the NARA Website
• How To Find & Save 1950 Census Images on Your iPad
• 1950 Census: Can’t Find ‘em? Here Are 4 Potential Reasons Why
• Using Ancestry, FamilySearch & MyHeritage to Find Your Family in the 1950 US Census

I also posted the following videos awhile ago, that may also be of help:

• A Look at the 1950 US Census: What You Need to Know
• Prepping for 1950 US Census Release: Behind the Scenes Look at My Process

And, if you’re not sure whether you even want to look for people in the 1950 census, I created this short video with three reasons why you should seek out this source:

• 1950 Census: So what? Why should you care?

I hope that these videos give you some insight and new ideas that you can try out to make your search a little easier.
