Join the 1950 Census Indexing Effort
Volunteers are working hard reviewing names and other data for the 1950 census to complete the indexing process and make the forms fully searchable. That includes work on the census forms for Maryland. You can join the effort via FamilySearch, which

Our members archive also includes tips for searching the 1950 census forms that area available at the National Archives and Records Administration.
