Revision 1: Jan. 18th 2022 with better audio and more information. CHECKOUT THE NEW 1950 NARA WEBSITE: [ Ссылка ]. The 1950 US Census will become public on April 1st, 2022. The National Archives has announced they will provide on opening day a preliminary name index as well as the census schedule images. This video will discuss what is known about their name index from online sources as of Jan 18th, 2022. I provide a number of unanswered questions about the name index. As more is provided online, I WILL REVISE THIS VIDEO AND PUT THE REVISION ONLINE, BUT LEAVE THE PREVIOUS VERSIONS WITH A WARNING TO VIEW THE CURRENT VIDEO. I provide a number of topics in this video on name searches, the format of census names, who wrote the names on the census sheets (enumerators) and what were their backgrounds, problems with transcribing 1950 census names from scanned images, potential quality control issue of the transcription, and a comparison between what we presently know about the FamilySearch crowdsourcing name index project for 1950 and the National Archives 1950 projects. Part 2 of this series will be on 1950 Locational Tools.
