1950 US Census
 

The 1950 US Census is to be published in April this year according to my February Update email from Ancestry today.
I can't find a death or marriage for an uncle so hopefully will be able to find him on this census.
It's possible that some DNA matches [those now in their 70's +] will be on this census with their parents which could be helpful.

I've just read that Ancestry is going to use OCR software to create an initial index before human transcribers work on it:

The census is now available on Ancestry, but only to browse at the moment, no search, and only 8 states so far.

13 states now (or territories, etc), so they are uploading it pretty quickly!

Here is the official US government site for the 1950 census with some searching already possible:

But they (Ancestry) have been stuck on 14 states / territories for a few hours now.

19 states / territories on Ancestry now.

24 states / territories on Ancestry.
Edit - 30 now.
34.
Now 54, I think. Indexes "coming soon" for Delaware, Vermont and Wyoming.

If you do not know the Enumeration District Number you may have to scroll through loads of pages. This is helpful for finding ED if you know a previous address. I knew mine either lived in Elizabeth or Linden NJ between 1940 and 1960 and had their street addresses.
You cannot search by street but you can by ED.
On the link below:

It will take you to a map that is best downloaded to your computer rather than trying to use it as is on the screen as you only get either a very small or extremely large view.
You might find that the road is in more than one ED if the road is long or the ED boundary is split right down the middle of it - I had to search in four EDs but it cut down the number of EDs for the city from 21 to 4.

It looks as though all the states and territories are on Ancestry now to browse, but none indexed yet.
