The 1950 U.S. Census is now searchable by the public. Some of the people I’ve been able to find include:
Dwight and Mamie Eisenhower (ED 31-1051)
Let’s see who else we can find.
You got Elvis wrong. Elvis was 15 in 1950 and living in Memphis.
I was able to find myself, at about 8 months old. The house we were living in at the time is no longer there.
No I didn’t. I found the same listing as you did, ED 98-4. You just have to scroll down.
I have been stymied by my lack of knowledge of the Enumeration District number, which seems to be the key to finding people. Is there a cross-reference from address to ED somewhere?
I tried unsuccessfully to find John F Kennedy. He would have been 33 years old and living in Boston but the name “John Kennedy” is perhaps too common.
On the other hand, here is Isaac Asimov with his first wife Gertrude in Somerville MA.
And Frank Sinatra was easy to find.
I found this:
He was in Congress, living at 1400 34th Street NW, Washington DC. He can be found here.
Thanks. From that we learn that his sister Eunice was living with him.
Found my parents and two eldest siblings.
My grandparents, uncle, and mother are here, along with my great-grandparents and great-uncle (I guess I sort of knew they were living in the same building, but it also looks like my grandparents had an older Polish lady boarding with them, who was a complete surprise. I wonder if my mom remembers her?)
