First Finds in the 1950 US Census

The US National Archives released the 1950 US Census yesterday. I found my Dad's grandparents, Edgar & Alma Jones, living at 102 N. Kealing in Indianapolis. Edgar appears as a real estate broker, while Alma worked as a saleslady at 5 & 10 Cent Stores.

My next find located my great-grandparents, Harry E. and Blanche O'Brien, with my grandparents Keith D. Jones, Blanche O'Brien Jones, and my Dad living next door. Harry Jr. and his family were also next door. Harry Sr. is listed as an owner-manager mouthpiece manufacturer. My Gumpy appears as a machinist for a bearing manufacturer. Ancestry's handy 1950 US Census District Finder was very helpful for locating them north of Broad Ripple, near Ravenswood.
