MyHeritage Introduces the Census Helper™ for the 1950 U.S. Census
On the eve of the 1950 U.S Census release, I’m excited to tell you that not only will the census records be available to explore on MyHeritage very soon and for free, we have also just released a free tool that will help a great deal as you prepare to dive in: the Census Helper™.
The Census Helper™ scans your tree and automatically compiles a list of individuals appearing in it who are very likely to be found in the 1950 U.S. census, along with relevant details. Armed with this list, you’ll know exactly which family members to search for in the newly released records, and your research will be much more focused. You’ll also be able to research those individuals in the census records with the click of a button.
I encourage you to recommend to anyone who doesn’t have a tree on MyHeritage to upload it as a GEDCOM and use this tool for free, so they can get a head start on their research. They can do so via this landing page.
You can learn more about the Census Helper™ in our blog post, and feel free to use the attached graphic when spreading the word.
Enjoy!
