Unable to find 1950 Census on FamilySearch
Just curious why I can not find the 1950 census on FamilySearch when it is available on Ancestry.com.
Here's the page in question- https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3QHK-SQH7-BC6T?i=1&cc=4464515
Jesse R Nelson is the third household on the record. His census can be found using the search option on Ancestry.com. However when I search for him on FamilySearch.org, no such census record can be found.
Also there is not a index showing at the bottom of the page when getting to that census image on FamilySearch.
Any ideas?

@Tamara Stevenson The missing names in the completed portions of index is a known issue with the 1950 Census on FamilySearch. They are working to get many images re-indexed, but we have no idea how long it will take. While we wait for corrections to be in place, if you're wanting to use the record as a source in Family Tree, you can add the image to your Source Box and attach from there. Here are some help center articles that explain how:

Indexing/review on the 1950 census are still ongoing on FS. I see mention of Labor Day as a deadline for something at the top of the 1950 US Census Community category.

The 1950 Census Landing page indicates that Idaho is searchable. Perhaps there is a disconnect between what is done and what *can be searched.*
