Premium Members: Download the show notes PDF Become a Premium Member. The 1950 US federal census is going to be released on April 1 of 2022. And getting the records fully indexed, and therefore searchable is going to take a little bit of time. If you’re anxious to get digging into the records, you’re going to need to know a couple of things like wh...
01:33 Steve:That goes back to the origins of the site back in 2001. The first major tool that I put up on the site was (designed for) researching the Ellis Island database. That database had just come online at that time. I was anxious to use it because there was some real answers that I had not been able to find up until then. But when I got into ...
03:24 Steve:Well, it’s whatever strikes my fancy! I got started with Ellis Island passenger lists records because I was trying to find a particular relative, my wife’s great grandfather. A year later, the website was used quite a bit, and the census was coming out. I got notified by a fellow that I worked with that he was working on the 1930 census...
So, what’s your background? Are you a computer programmer? Do you do all the programming for the website? 05:26 Steve:Well, I have a PhD in electrical engineering, specializing in computer science. It was not computer science in those days. So, I been in the field ever since – my entire career. I’ve done research, development, consulting, writing, ...
05:42 Lisa:The 1950 census is just about here. When did you first start working on that? 05:48 Steve:Well, we finished the 1940 census in 2012. When the 1940 census went online, it was about a year later that we first started putting out the call for volunteers. By 2013, we started fetching volunteers to do the work for the 1950 census. It involved...
Well, we’ve talked a lot here on the Genealogy Gems channel about enumeration districts, or Eds, and the ED maps. But I would love to hear it from the one step man himself, how do we go about finding ED numbers? 08:20 Steve: I have a tool called Finding Enumeration Districts in One-Step. It covers both large cities and rural areas. For the large ci...
How do we give you these ED definitions? Well, the National Archives has them on microfilm, but you can’t go searching on microfilm. So, we’ve had our volunteers actually transcribe all the ED definitions for 1940 and 1950 prior to 1940. For 1940 we did transcribe all the EDs, all the definitions from the microfilm. NARA came to us for 1940 and ask...
So, the genealogist is really going to benefit by knowing the actual address because then they can use the cross streets that you have to really zero in on the exact enumeration district that the address falls within. Please tell folks how that helps when the records are released, and they want to start searching. How do they use that number? 11:33...
12:58 Lisa:And of course I noticed that right now there are many different kinds of links that do work that are on the website. Tell folks about some of the extra items, the collateral items that they can actually access right now with the links from your website. 13:15 Steve: ED maps sounds like it’d be the best thing if you can get an ED map. Loo...
Maybe this is what you were discussing before, but I came across digitized pages on your website of the book that was describing each enumeration district in more detail. Is that what you were talking about when you mentioned the Census Definitions? 14:41 Steve:Yes, when he’s talking about the definitions, we have a tool that gets you to the microp...
