  • MGC did not record Stephen Morse's presentation Getting Ready for the 1950 Census: Searching with and without a Name Index. However, you can watch a version of the presentation on the One-Step Webpages by clicking HERE. If you want to try many of the tools on Steve's website the link is: www. stevemorse.org. Don't be fooled by the website for a singer of the same name but different URL.
