An up-to-date program about the newly released 1950 census, and the best strategies for locating your family in the census. Presented by Allison DePrey Singleton.
For those of us devoted to genealogy, “Census Release Day” is an informal but long-anticipated holiday every ten years. As genealogists, we eagerly await each new release of the Census and the treasure trove of information it will bring. This year, the census was released on April 1. Part of the release is trying to find information in the Census that is not indexed by people. How can we find our ancestors? What is the best way to navigate the information? This presentation will answer these questions and more.
Registration will close two hours before the program begins and registrants will receive a link to join the program via Zoom shortly thereafter.
Please email community@wilmettelibrary.info with any questions about how to access the program via Zoom.
