I have been eagerly awaiting the release to see information about my grandparents and parents(who had not met yet). My DH was a toddler in 1950.
Been waiting on it for years! So excited. 😁😁😁
I can't wait for this census to be released!
thanks to you ancestry, my grandad was able to meet a brother he never knew. that brother thought that he was the only one until now. thank you so much
We're thrilled for you, Dylan, we're happy that Ancestry could help you on your research journey. We hope that you've enjoyed meeting together and discussing your shared family history. If you're interested to share some more of your story with us, you can do so on the Ancestry website, linked or you here: support.ancestry.com/s/article/Submitting-Your-Success-Story. This is entirely optional, of course. We wish you all the very best for the future! 😊
I am looking forward to this census. My mother was born just a year prior to that. So many things happened around that time on both sides of my family. I will be dedicating a whole 48 hours for research.

Hello,
I am French and thanks to you, I have confirmation of my belonging to the descendants of my father who was G.I in 1944 in Normandy (American landing). I finally know who I am and my found sisters are the most beautiful thing that has happened to me. One of them is a subscriber and today I receive your message but also hers which gives information from 1950. I therefore receive your messages without doubtless being a subscriber and I know that my sister will immediately translate it for me . France has not arrived at your level and in this matter is of serious nonsense.
thanks again
Michel
this is the missing piece of my research!! i need this to come out so bad.
Yesssss I'm so excited!
Exciting!!!
Can’t wait!
When will the 1950 Census be released?
April 1st, 2022.
So excited! Haha
My mome would have 10. So it would be great to see where they were living and who with
If only Sri Lanka had available census records
Will the census records will fully searchable on April 1st on the website, or will it take some time for them to be *fully* available?
I've heard that just like the 1940 census, it will not be indexed automatically, but will take hundreds of volunteers months to index to the point where it will be searchable. In the meantime, while we are waiting, you will need to have a general idea of where your family was living in 1950.
My understanding is that in 1952, the census was microfilmed and in 2019 the 1950 census was already digitized. Once the census records are released to the public, it could take until March to get them into the system. As stated, they have already been digitized and the AI/ML software will make quick work of it.
At the initial release of the 1950 census, you will be able to view basic search by name or location. Once it is indexed, you can search deeper into the census.
@@FallenHoot Thank you for that heads-up. After being made available for public search on April 1, 2022, "it could take until March" 2023?
@@JudgeJulieLit It was fast last time, so maybe March 2022, but at the latest June 22.
@@FallenHoot If the 72-year release rule backdates to April 1, 1950, I would guess that the 1950 US Census records cannot be accessible online to the public until April 1, 2022; so perhaps by June 2022. Thank you again.
Interesting
I can't wait until the 1960s one comes out!
We're glad that you're excited for your future research too, thanks for stopping by! 😄
@@AncestryUS my ancestors are from the Carolinas. Is there any way we can get censuses for the 1890s?
Hi, thank you for the question. Over 99% of the 1890 U.S. census was burned in a Commerce Department fire in 1921. We do have some of the surviving records available; you can learn more about how to search for them here: support.ancestry.com/s/article/The-1890-U-S-Federal-Census?language=en_US
Here I was all excited about April 1 release and ready to stay up all night to do research. I guess the joke was on me. I spent 4 hours searching and was only able to find a few names. I thought all the records were going to be released and ready to view.
We're sorry for the disappointment, BallymurphyBabe. We hope you're able to find your family very soon. Here is a link that we hope you find helpful.

will all 1950 births be included or only partially? If not all what is the last month recorded?
As each US Census records the US population in each household "as of" April 1 in the census year, for 1950 it would include each baby born on or before April 1, 1950 living or (if still in hospital maternity ward) to live in that household, but not born after that date. Too the census count would exclude all Americans deceased by April 1, 1950.
I heard the 1950 Census will not be easily read, that it will be difficult to locate a family member unless you already know their address in 1950. Is this so, what happens to families that moved often, as my uncle. I guess I will never find anything on him and his kids. Any info would be appreciated.
As soon as the census is released to the public, Ancestry will get to work indexing it. Once indexed, it will be fully searchable.
@@CristaCowan Oh thank you Crista, my Barefoot Genie!
When is this going to be available on Ancestry
The government will release the census images to the public on April 1st. Ancestry will get those uploaded to our site as quickly as possible. We will then get to work indexing the records so that they are fully searchable.
Finding the translator is having difficulty in applying surnames when the family is split between two pages. It is picking up an erroneous surname and applying it to the children.
How would I get the census report of my family
Hi Nora, thanks so much for stopping by! We're delighted to hear that you are excited to begin researching these newest Census records. We have popped a link below to a great article from our support center which will let you know how you can find records from this Census:

We hope this helps!
how exciting ♡
We're glad you are as excited as we are! 😊
it would be nice if it didn't take so long to release these census records.
They should shorten the 72 year rule to 70 years
@@EthanParmetItsDaBunny Be thankful it's only 72 years. In Canada, our privacy laws are stricter, we have to wait 92 years after a census was taken before it's made available to the public. And in Britain, it's even longer.
Be glad it's not longer, the rule in Ireland is at least 100 years. And there wasn't a census done in 1921 due to war so the next one won't be released until at least 2026
I would like to know about the census of Portugal
Hi there, and thanks so much for getting in touch lately. That's a good question, and we'd be happy to provide some information about the Portugal Census. Regretfully, most Portuguese census returns were destroyed after the authorities had compiled statistical information. You can learn more about this here: www.familysearch.org/en/wiki/Portugal_Census
My mom and her family we apparently skipped in the 1940 census - hurry up April 1, 2022!!!!!
Sometimes it is a misspelling of names. I’ve had that revealed in some of my searches.
If you find a mistake , can u get it corrected?
Thanks so much for your comment, Dallas! That's a great question and we'd be happy to help. If you ever encounter a transcription error, you can quickly submit a correction with the following steps: support.ancestry.com/s/article/Correcting-a-Record
We hope this helps, and we wish you all the best in your research!
I was 4 years old
I was 5 and still remember
This further disrespects many senior's private info even if the law allows. Should be a 100 years to release census data with lifespans being longer. Having to live with people accessing names of family, size, incomes, addresses etc for the last possibly 20 years of life without consent just seems as off as the rest of the highly intrusive invasions of privacy practiced today.

I can't find my grandfather on Mother's side. He married 3 times the last was with my grandmother ,mom's side. He did silent films, was a cowboy, made liquor during prohibition. Was arrested & shot & killed by a sheriff . I don't where in Oklahoma he was born. His is a complete mystery.
What was his name?
@@matattackgaming3229 Jess Woodall show name Billy West.
Hey Fam, we’re there ever an instance where native or indigenous peoples were reclassified as Black people for census purposes?
No
@@Sean-jc6cu yes there was Walter Plecker Paper Genocide... Native Americans were reclassified as Black/Negro/Colored
The answer is, not specifically for the census, but during the Dawes Commission,
Black Indians were likely to be separated from their Native families, because they didn't look Indian.
Personally I would like to see more tax information on Ancestry.
Ancestry has more than 70 million records found in tax lists, rolls, valuations, and registers. Are you familiar with using the Ancestry Card Catalog? (You'll find it under the SEARCH menu on the website.) Do a search for "tax" to see all that is available.
Unfortunately, people will have to wait 144 yrs, before the first census record, that my name will be on.
Not true. Census are released to public records 72 years after the date taken in the USA
@@dariusmelasecca2715 correct, I was born in '64, so my name, first appears on 1970 census. 2×72=144.
