Beth,
“According to the “72-Year Rule,” the National Archives releases census records to the general public 72 years after Census Day. As a result, the 1930 census records were released April 1, 2002, and the 1940 records were released April 2, 2012. The 1950 census records will be released in April 2022.”
Even so, it will be at least another six months before a name index exists. Without indexing by name, I won’t attempt to access records. You can read about it below. Ouch!
