Here's what to do if you see "No one home" in the address that you want in the #1950census. First, don't panic. Read the entry. It should say something like "See Sheet 71, Line 4." #genealogy /1
If the family wasn't home when the enumerator came around the first time, they were supposed to revisit them. The "revisits" begin on Sheet 71, at the end of that enumeration district. #1950census /2
"But there aren't 71 pages in my enumeration district!" That's ok. It doesn't matter what sheet number the regular visits end on. The revisits begin on Sheet 71. So the enumeration district could jump from Sheet 12 to Sheet 71 (no pages missing). /3
Whatever website you're using, browse to the end of that enumeration district. You'll find the Sheet numbers in the upper right-hand corner of the census page (the image itself). I hope this helps! #1950census #genealogy #FamilyHistory

The search interface is easy to use. Drop downs for the state and county. Also includes the territories that are covered. /2

In the continuing saga of @FindaGrave and copyrighted photos, I just got a response to the email I sent them earlier this week… /1
Recap: FG user stole the copyrighted photo from my dad’s online obit and posted it to the FG memorial that I created. I asked him to remove it and he did. But…. /2
Said FG user has created more than 21k memorials and has more than 23k photos. Scrolling through his memorials, it’s easy to see that the *vast* majority are photos of the deceased, and are the type commonly seen in online obits. /3
