The 1950 U.S. Federal Census was released to the public on April 1, 2022. Many features are similar to earlier censuses, but every census is different. This may be the most personal census we get to see in our lifetime. You and your parents may be on this census – perhaps even your future husband and in-laws. It’s fun to search for your friends and neighbors too.
