1950 Good News/Bad News

 The good news is, if you know where your ancestor lived in 1950, you can go right now, today, and look at their 1950 census image at our National Arcives website, here https://1950census.archives.gov/ .

The website is quick and efficeint.

The bad news? My family, Daddy, Mamma and there children are not on this census. When I looked at the map of Coin Township at Ancestry, I did not see our house marked.  I find the neighbors, Watson Leathers and Flint Stone, but the road to our house is not marked on the map.



The large yellow circle is the main road out by Dan Norton's. The two houses on this road are Watson Leathers and Flint stone.  The orange dot is the location of our house that I added.

The small yellow circle is Melton and Gerty Powell.  They are on the census living on Powell Road.


If you want to have some fun, go look for your family in 1950. I hope your luck is better than mine.
