1950 U.S. Census Release
April 2022 is the target release date for the 1950 U.S. Census. Ancestry will receive the digitized census pages on April 1st and begin processing them with sophisticated artificial intelligence and handwriting recognition technology. This will produce an initial searchable index that is reportedly 92% accurate. The release of this index should take place later in April, unlike past censuses that took months or years to process.

Volunteers will be needed to check records for accuracy, known as Indexing. But unlike earlier censuses, people will be able to search by name and location for entries that they want to index. This will ensure even better accuracy and will generate more interest among volunteers. Click here for more information.
