The images for 13 states are already available in the Explore Images tool on FamilySearch. The states include: NV, UT, OR, AZ, FL, ID, LA, CA, NY, NM, TX, IN, and VA. You can find these images by signing into FamilySearch and then clicking on the "Images" button under the "Search" menu. Click on the "Show More Search Options" link, type in the county and state you want to see in the place field, type in 1950 in the date field, select "Residence" in the Life Event field and then hit search. You may have to scroll down a bit, but you should see the 1950 census images come up. Be aware, however, that the National Archives had a glitch and didn't provide access to one county from each of the states. The county missing is typically the last one which appears in an alphabetical list. They are working to correct this glitch, but for now this handful of counties is missing.

Looks like we have published images for all or parts of 39 states. We have a cool new image viewer. Navigate to your county of interest using the map. Click on a state, then click on a county. Or select state, then county using the list in the left sidebar.

I have!! It was wonderful to see family names and neighbors! The https://stevemorse.org/census/unified.html website was really helpful to get me to the right ED for each family I wanted to look at. That website was shared in RootsTech last month.

That's wonderful to hear (not the county glitch) but how to find them on FamilySearch.
I went to the census website https://1950census.archives.gov/ and found my family using the ED that I found on https://stevemorse.org/census/unified.html as discussed in RootsTech earlier in March. So fun to look through the neighborhood.
