STEVE MORSE INTERVIEW: THE 1950 UNITED STATES FEDERAL CENSUS IS RELEASED

The 1950 census will be released on April 1, 2022.  I anticipate being one of the people who will hit that site within the first day or two, hoping it doesn't crash. What discoveries I hope to find!  Here is an interview with Stephen P. Morse ie Steve Morse, and his ONE STEP TOOLS.



USING FINDING ENUMERATION DISTRICTS - LARGE CITIES by streets.  RURAL AREAS are different.  Volunteers included rural areas with a population of 5000 or more. If the town are area was smaller, you will look for the city first and then search for the ED definitions to see which ones mention that small town .  ONE STEP volunteers transcribed from Microfilm. He's saying that unlike the 1940 census, the National Archives has been less willing to give over information.  He believes the definitions of ED through ONE STEP will be more "robust" than those from National Archives.  Also he says they got good cooperation from FamilySearch.
