We are planning a special little preview activity for our May 24 virtual meeting. Prior to the meeting during the open chat time, our program chair, George Thomas is planning a fun feature and we need your help. Please submit any Fabulous, Famous and Infamous folk you have found while perusing the 1950 Census images. I have seen what George Thomas, program director, has planned and I think it will be highly entertaining. Forward thes following details for what you find - the name, state, county, and enumeration district to George's email - geothos@bellsouth.net and he will take your findings and create a slide show that should prove to be a lot of fun as we warm up for the evening's presentation.
Imaging finding this! A very young Bruce Springsteen was residing in the home of his grandparent's New Jersey home in 1950 along with his parents!
Are you up for the thrill of the hunt?
Hint: Steve Morse's Unified Enumeration District Finder for 1950 may be of some help.
Send your Fabulous, Famous and Infamous finds to George so we can all marvel at your sleuthing skills.

| Spoiler Alert! George's slides are way better than mine! |
After we settle in for the evening, Lisa Lisson will present "A Glimpse Inside MidCentury America." The 1950 Census gives researchers a glimpse into the lives of their ancestors in post-WWII America. From war brides to suburbia to baby boomers, we'll find it all in the 1950 census.
We hope you will join us and wish you Happy Census Hunting!
