    Anybody know what date the US 1950 Census will be available on-line on Ancestry, family search etc?

    Obviously they don't follow a 100 year rule, but is it is a 70 year rule, 75 or 80?

    It's 70. They've already released 1940.

    April 1st 2022, US has a 72 year rule.

    If NARA follow the same release format as for 1940, all the digital images will be released on that date and full indexing will be completed by late summer by Ancestry and Familysearch.

    Who knows what kind of tech will be available by then though, maybe they will be able to index the census in 24 hours!

    Happy to help with any US specific genealogy questions you have.

    Thanks for that, was really hoping it might be 65 years!
