I am almost sorry to see the review come to an end. I grew up in Madison WI during the 1950's, so it has been really fun and interesting to come across the names of people I knew at that time -- family, friends, high school classmates, teachers, people I worked with, etc. I was grateful to have something useful to do to contribute. Thanks for the opportunity.

Thank you for the opportunity to be a part of the 1950 Census review. I hope my small contribution will help family researchers find the information they need.

I am attempting to view Massachusetts records and they appear to be restricted. Why is there a limitation?
We're unable to show this record to you. This record can only be displayed on certain accounts. FamilySearch must honor the agreements we have with our partners, record owners, and internal policies.

1950 census record hints are now appearing for many family members, but when I attempt to attach the record hints, I get a red '403 - record access denied' message, and cannot attach the records to the person named. Will this be fixed?

Also experiencing ‘restricted access’ warnings, unable to view or attach any 1950’s census records at this time. Is there a troubleshooting effort ongoing? Or is this an intended restriction? Very frustrating to be blocked from information I helped transcribe.

Is there any way to suggest a correction to 1950 census records/ The only option I see for correction to my family's records is their names. Names for father, mother, and one of my brothers are correct. The other brother is listed as name "No One" with marital status of divorced which would have been impossible at his age. The records are for the Washington, D.C. (District of Columbia). But the addresses are a mile long list with Kansas and Indiana showing on the records (unless expanded which brings up every possible instance of Washington
). This particular one is film 109019532.

I am not shown in the 1950 census index, although I'm in the census with my family. A few lines down, my grandmother is also not shown in the index, yet she is in the census. How do I correct this?

I don't understand this restricted access to the 1950 census! Occasionally it is available to view, but more often, there is a message saying that viewing is restricted to certain accounts. When it first became available on FamilySearch, I was able to view the index and images and attach them as sources. Later, I tried to review some of the listings I had attached, but they had become restricted! A few days ago I was able to view and attach the 1950 listing for my parents' household for the first time. Previously it had been restricted. FamilySearch has given us little or no explanation for these restrictions, and continues to advertise the 1950 census as if it were widely available and unrestricted. This is very frustrating.

I have found a large error within the 1950 Census for Kentucky. Film # 109024574 image 11 of 11.
The place of birth for the families (with the exception of the first person) is shown as NY (New York). The place was abbreviated KY but transposed incorrectly.
Looking at the same family in the 1940 Census shows Kentucky as the birth places. I think this is a critical error that needs fixing.
