Have you heard that the 1950 census data will be released and searchable soon? I am so excited about this because it will help me learn more about my great-great aunt Hazel Louise, with whom I share a middle name. In the 1940 census, she was living in downtown Los Angeles in a home that she owned, with her partner named Lillian. She had moved west from Scranton, PA with her father in the 20s, where they lived until his death on a citrus grove in San Bernadino County. After a year of looking I am still no closer to finding Lillian’s origins, and I also don’t know whether they were together until Hazel’s death in the 70s. So I am eagerly awaiting when I can get my hands on the LA data and find out!
What are you going to be looking for in the 1950 census? Do you have any family history mysteries you’re tracking down right now?
