To find these sessions type in Q&A in the session search bar. Even though they were answering questions and you can't ask your question now, someone else may have asked what you want to know or something similar.
Topics include FamilySearch GEDCOM, Japanese, Matt Paxton, accreditation in Denmark and Scandinavian research, and German professional genealogist.
One of the current genealogy hot topics is the 1950 Census. I do not have any family in the US at that time and I also have the information I need from that time period but there are many who do.
Session Title
The 1950 US Census Effort - A Q&A with the FamilySearch Team
Session Description
"Join the cause—help make the 1950 US Census index searchable and available to everyone! Today's technology is amazing; computers will index in just a couple weeks what would otherwise take us millions of hours to index by hand. At the same time, the computers can't read the handwriting as well as you can, so we need you! You are invited to help review and improve the index—to make sure that every parent, grandparent, sibling, and friend will be able to be found. Learn more about this effort from the FamilySearch team who is creating the experience for you to review the census.
Looking for a little more detail? Review this session on the system we will use to review the census: Get Involved and Reviewing the 1950 Census."
