This talk will show you how to search for presidential records, and, in the process, it will teach you how to search for your ancestors’ records. There are similar problems with both searches, including misspellings and incorrect dates, and we’ll learn how these problems can be tackled.


In April 2022, the 1950 census will be released! It will not have a name index, so finding people in the census will involve searching by location instead, meaning finding and using the Enumeration Districts (EDs) of the census. The One-Step website contains numerous tools for obtaining EDs.


Steve Morse, creator of the “One-Step” web pages, has been a mainstay of genealogy research, inventing many tools that ease research work for both the novice and the experienced genealogist. For details on his enormous number of research aides, see his website at stevemorse.org.
