The 1950 U. S. Census is scheduled for public release on April 1, 2022.

1950 Census Articles posted at the History Hub Blog (National Archives) — click here to browse the list

Enumerator’s Reference Manual — click here to read or download free from Google Books

Tennessee County Enumeration District Maps — click here to select from the list provided by TGS
