Join us on Sunday for our monthly meeting featuring guest speaker Dawn Carlile who will share the timely presentation, “Preparing for the 1950 Census – What You Should Do Now.”
WHEN: Sunday, 13 February 2022
TIME: 5:30 p.m. SLT (same as Pacific Time)
WHERE: The Fire Pit at Just Genealogy SLurl
Description
The 1950 census will be released on Friday, April 1, 2022. But it won’t be searchable for a while so you will need to find your family by looking at the images one-by-one until you locate them. It isn’t all bad news though. There are things you can start doing now that will make it easy, okay easier, to find your families whether they lived in cities, towns, or rural areas. You will also learn what is and isn’t included in the 1950 census, requirements, and instructions for the enumerators.
A short business meeting will be held prior to the speaker’s presentation.
All are welcome at our meetings. You do not need to be a member of the SLVGS in order to attend, but we’d love it if you’d join!
