MyHeritage announces a new 1950 U.S. Census Content Hub today at RootsTech Connect 2022. You can listen to the MyHeritage Keynote Presentation on the RootsTech Main Stage any time after the Keynote is scheduled to be presented. See https://www.familysearch.org/rootstech/main-stage. 

Here are the links for the information about the new content hub. 

1. MyHeritage 1950 census page: https://www.myheritage.com/census/us/1950census/
2. U.S. Census Hub: https://myheritage.com/census/us/
3. Blog post sharing more details about the release of the 1950 census: https://blog.myheritage.com/2022/01/1950-census-release-is-coming-up-soon/

On this dedicated hub, visitors can learn about everything related to the 1950 census, prepare for its launch, and search the collection as soon as it goes live. 

Of course, the 1950 Census is not live until April 1st, 2022 so this is all just in preparation. You will be able to see the census and all the content at that time. 

There will be a lot of information about the censuses also as shown below. 

1. Advanced search capabilities: Using MyHeritage’s search engine, you can search for your ancestors according to any criteria and not just name, home address, or enumeration district. You can also search according to multiple search criteria at once, allowing you to zero in on what you're looking for faster. MyHeritage’s sophisticated search algorithms can even identify nicknames and name variations from other languages.
2. Free access to fully indexed records: We will be investing a great deal of funds and efforts in fully indexing the 1950 census records as soon as the images are released. Once this project is complete, we will be offering free access to the indexed 1950 census records. 
3. Easily flip between records within the family: MyHeritage allows you to easily flip between census records of individuals in the same family group. Family members are listed on the record page, and you can click their names to go to their records.
4. Explore related records: When you are viewing records on MyHeritage, you’ll see additional historical records that mention the person you are researching. Our database includes more than 16 billion records and is constantly growing.
5. Receive automatic Record Matches: When you build a family tree on MyHeritage, you won’t even need to search actively. MyHeritage finds historical records that mention the people in your family tree and delivers them straight to your inbox.
6. Extract new information straight to your family tree: Extracting information from historical records and placing it on your online family tree is as simple as a few clicks on MyHeritage.
7. How-to video: We have already released a short video explaining how to research U.S. census records on MyHeritage, which you can find on the pages I linked to above.

I am looking forward to writing more about this great resource.
