Taken every 10 years since 1790, the United States Census provides a snapshot of the nation's population. Because of a 72-year restriction on access to the records, the most recent census year currently available is 1950.

The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) has digitized and is providing free online access to the 1950 Census population schedules for U.S. states and territories, enumeration district maps, and enumeration district descriptions.

So why is the FamilySearch/Ancestry Census review needed?

"The 1950 US Federal Census [was] released on 1 April 2022, and the Census Community Project will enlist an army of volunteers to help publish a free searchable index of all 151 million individuals included in this valuable record. Volunteers will review and improve an automated index created by Ancestry using handwriting recognition technology to ensure that it is complete and accurate."

Help review the Census by accessing the Get Involved app on your mobile device or opening the Get Involved link in FamilySearch. }}

}} {{Kalispell FHC Article This is a wonderful project where you, youth groups, and community groups can help in the effort to re-index Texas death certificates. It uses a different software tool than FamilySearch's web indexing, so it is critical that participants watch the instructional video prior to signing up for this project. It has been shared successfully with youth groups and other groups. What is amazing is that within a week of being reviewed and submitted the newly indexed information is available for online searches on FamilySearch.
