Watch at the Library
We show online events on our big movie screen (when possible) or in a study room. The event is still online and live, not in-person or pre-recorded.
If you are interested in watching this online event at the library, let us know when you register.
Learn how to access the 1950 census as well as all previous census data. Plus, go behind the scenes to see how the data was collected and how the first non-military computer was used to help tabulate statistics.
The Census is a great starting point for searching for information about your ancestors. The Census can contain address, education level, marital status, occupation, languages spoken, children, and more. The Census publicly releases individual records after 72 years.
Sponsored by Cora Belden Library.
