Missing Records from the 1950 Census for Middle Weiser, Washington, Idaho
My family is listed on Ancestry in the 1950 census. The document is Idaho, Middle Weiser, Number 44-6. Although I can find other individuals in Middle Weiser with different document numbers, I have tried numerous names on different pages on Document 44-6 and can find no matches with my or any other family that is listed on Ancestry.com. Was this document skipped, incorrectly indexed, or is there some other problem? My father was Eldon Judd (listed as Eldan Judd born 1913, Utah), my mother is Sylvia M Judd (born in 1920, Utah), and my siblings are Elaine Judd (born 1938, Idaho), Phyllis N Judd (born 1940, Idaho), Colleen Judd (born 1944, Oregon) and Claudia Judd (born 1946, Idaho). Can you find out why this record is not available? My eamil is allanjudd1@gmail.com. Thank you.

@allanmarshalljudd1 Unfortunately, the 1950 US Census is still a work in progress on FamilySearch. Many entries are not showing up in searches and some indexes are incomplete. A special team is working on the record set and hope to have it completely published and the errors fixed before too much longer. Sorry that we don't have a specific date to look for. Meanwhile, here are some things you can do:
You can create a source in Family Tree from the image you found on Ancestry.com. Here is a Help Center article that gives the steps:
You can click Search and then Images and search for the specific Enumeration District (44-6). You'll need to search through several images, but hopefully will find the page that you found on Ancestry and can then attach it to your ancestors as a source.
