WORK IN
PROGRESS AS OF FEBRUARY 13, 2024
VIRGINIA 1950 CENSUS
In the
1940 census and especially now in the 1950 Census, the handwriting on the
sheets is a bit better. But now that people are using Ancestry and Family
Search and putting their family trees up on the sites, and the sites themselves
have much better search engines and send you to a whole bunch of info docs and
records. I now can find a family sheet on about everyone and many on the wife’s
side. When I first started doing this in the very early 1970s, all that was
available to see was up to the 1900. There was no such thing as on-line and the
computers then were the size of a locker room. I had to drive out to Waltham,
Massachusetts to the U. S. Library, beg for a film real of the dates and State
I wanted and then look at it through a visual device in a back dark room and
literally go page to page, county to county and write the info down on paper
with a pencil. At that time, really the most people doing genealogy were older
women, mostly retired school teachers in their 70s and 80s, who would send you
hand written trees and info and stuff that they had back a couple of
generations. Once in a while I would get an actual typewritten document. Wow!
Got much better in the 1990s. Now it is soooo easy to get info you didn’t think
was possible. Back in the 70s I tried calling folks, and got a hold of several
who had info. Now just an e-mail can bring in a ton of info. In Virginia, Most
of the Putnam and Putman families are on the Southern Putman line that started
here in 1647. The Putnam name got changed to Putman in many cases as that’s how
it sounded. Then after the Revolution, many of the Southern families changed to
Putnam, not because they knew that’s how it started, but because they wanted to
be kinfolk to generals Israel and Rufus
Putnam so some changed. In North Carolina the bulk did just that. Anyway,
really enjoy these censuses, and if you can add or correct, please let me know
so I can help others.
