    All, sorry for the late notice but we're canceling this week's GODORT Chat. In lieu of chatting, everyone should look up an ancestor in the 1950 census: 1950 Census Records (I have reached out to NARA about sharing info at a Friday Chat but haven't heard back yet).

    If you have something you'd like to discuss at a future chat, please let me know.
    best,
    -robbie

    And realize that the name index is not yet completed!
    You might need to look up by enumerator district.

    Which can lead to some serendipitous genealogying (in my opinion). I was able to find a few relatives just by looking at each page within each enumerator district (I still cannot find some stubborn relatives, but I'm not going to give up)!

    Happy Monday!
