I am confused as to why Ancestry says indexes coming soon for Delaware, Vermont and Wyoming, but the states that you can help to index on FamilySearch at the moment are Nevada and Oregon? I thought the two sites were partners in this, so I would have thought that Nevada and Oregon would be "coming soon".

I have to admit I couldn't get anywhere with the ED maps but thankfully, Ancestry have added a "1950 Census district finder" where you can type in an address and it will show you the correct district on the map. It has worked perfectly for the two addresses that I have tried so far, and I have found some of my relatives!

Thanks for that, Kite. It works for me too. I found that it would try to tell me it had no matches at first, but if I kept typing it would eventually find the right place after it saw more of the address.
Also, it took me a moment to realize that after the search stopped I had to click on the election district number. (Duh.) There are an incredibly annoying number of records where they simply wrote something like "nobody home". I suppose it must have been in their instructions. Why?! I don't remember seeing that in other censuses. I must be missing something. Glad you found some of your own! EDIT: I'm just marvelling at the number of 3-year-olds to be found (myself among them). This is the post-war baby boom that, a decade later, brought about excruciating crowding and "double-sessions" (split days) for us in high school. Last edited by Janet; 05-04-22 at 04:00. |

Delaware and Wyoming are now searchable on Ancestry. But Vermont isn't searchable and yet it doesn't say "index coming soon" for Vermont any more either. I assume it is still coming soon but they just aren't telling us.

Ooh, just had my first Ancestry "hint" for the 1950 census!

I wondered what I was doing wrong as I couldn't get any hits but then realised they haven't got Boston yet.

Hawaii and Indian Reservations are now searchable on Ancestry. They don't say which states are coming next.
