The National Archives released the 1950 U.S. Census on a searchable website linked above. You can begin your search today. I tried to find my parents by searching and so far, I have not been successful. Hopefully, one of the major genealogy companies will have a better search engine. The site includes the following.
- Approximately 6.57 million population schedules
- 33,360 Indian Reservation schedules
- 9,634 enumeration district maps images
- 234,447 enumeration district descriptions
- Location and name-based search capabilities. Explore the records by State, County/City, Name, Reservation, and Enumeration District.
- Name transcription capabilities. Use the built-in transcription feature to correct and add names to the name index. You can help make the 1950 Census population schedules more discoverable for everyone.
