Re: Can I browse the enumeration district where I lived, since I cannot find my family by entering the name?

Susan: Certainly you may browse the entire Enumeration District. Make your search for New York / Queens / and the ED number. Then you'll be able to see all the pages. You might want to click on the "ED map" icon and check the ED maps for the area -- the address across the street could be in a different ED.

Re: Can I browse the enumeration district where I lived, since I cannot find my family by entering the name?
Jan Murphy Apr 6, 2022 7:07 PM (in response to Susan Richardson)I highly recommend using the tools on Stephen P. Morse's One-Step Web Pages. For a detailed demo of how to use the tools, you can read the Getting Ready article, or if you prefer video, watch the RootsTech 2022 presentation: Getting Ready for the 1950 Census: Searching with and without a Name Index.
Morse's site makes it easy to access the maps, the images, the enumeration district descriptions, lists of streets in an ED and street name changes. The image viewer has buttons that will take you back to NARA's site.
Joel D. Weintraub has a talk on his YouTube channel that might help:
Help!! I can't narrow down or even find my 1950 ED # from your locational tools!!!
So far, looking at the ED descriptions AND the ED maps together has helped me a lot. Best of luck with your browsing!
