There are only TWO DAYS LEFT until the 1950 Census is released! Are you ready? Check out this helpful information to help you prepare!

  • ISGS ran a special issue of the Quarterly last summer, focusing on how to prepare for the 1950 census. You can still purchase a copy through our Online Store- CLICK HERE! Our Office Manager, Vauna, will prepare your order promptly!
  • NARA has a special 1950 Census Website, packed with everything you need to know ahead of the census release- plus research and learning materials, videos, and much more! Be sure to bookmark this page, as the link to the 1950 Census will be available here starting on Friday!
  • Steve Morse also has some helpful info, including tips for locating the enumeration district (ED) your ancestors lived in during the 1950 Census!
  • Are you interested in being a 1950 Census indexing volunteer? FamilySearch is heading a massive volunteer project to help index the 1950 census! Their 1950 census page also offers a tone of helpful info for understanding and using the upcoming census!
ISGS will be hard at work too, doing a special deep-dive review and "test drive" of the 1950 census for our Spring Issue, which is scheduled to hit your mailbox in mid-April! Will it be easy to find your Illinois ancestors...? Stay tuned!
