With the release of the 1950 U.S. Census on 1 April, I’ve had fun looking up family, friends, and others – it’s not easy but gets easier the more I do, because I keep learning little tricks.

Members of the First Presidency and Quorum of the Twelve who appear in this census:

.

Russell M. Nelson, 25-year-old physician/surgeon completing his residency in Minneapolis, Minnesota
.

.

Dallin H. Oaks, 17-year-old radio engineer and announcer in Provo, Utah
.

.

Henry B. Eyring, 16-year-old student in Salt Lake City
.

.

Jeffrey R. Holland, a 9-year-old living in St. George, Utah.
.

.

Quentin L. Cook, 9-year-old living in Logan, Utah.
.

.

D. Todd Christofferson 5-year-old living in Pleasant Grove, Utah.
.

.

.

Those who do not appear in the 1950 census are:

M. Russell Ballard (in England; he completed his mission and returned to the US in September 1950, too late to be enumerated)

Dieter F. Uchtdorf (living in his native Europe; he was born in 1940 so would have been enumerated had he lived in the U.S.)

David A. Bednar (born in 1952)

Neil L. Andersen (born in 1951)

Ronald A. Rasband (born in 1951)

Gary E. Stevenson (born in 1955)

Dale G. Renlund (born in 1952)

Gerrit W. Gong (born in 1953)

Ulisses Soares (born in 1958, and would have been living in Brazil even had he been born by the date of the census)

-oooOooo-

The records for Russell M. Nelson and Henry B. Eyring were found and shared by @michaelwsmithFL, via Twitter.
