Presenter: Stephen P. Morse
Topics:
1:00 - 2:00 p.m. “One-Step Webpages: A Potpourri of Genealogical
Search Tools”
The
One-Step website started out as an aid for finding passengers in the Ellis
Island database. Shortly afterwards it was expanded to help with searching
in the 1930 census. Over the years it has continued to evolve and today
includes about 300 web-based tools divided into 16 separate categories ranging
from genealogical searches to astronomical calculations to last-minute bidding
on e-bay. This presentation will describe the range of tools available and
give the highlights of each one.
2:15 - 3:30 p.m. “Getting Ready for the 1950 Census: Searching
with and without a Name Index”
When the 1950 census will be released in April 2022, it will not
have a name index. So, finding people in the census will involve searching by
location instead. Even when a name index becomes available, there will still be
many reasons for doing locational searches. The census is organized by
Enumeration Districts (EDs), so the location needs to be converted to an ED
before the census can be accessed. The One-Step website contains numerous tools
for obtaining ED’s. This talk will present the various tools and show
circumstances in which each can be used.
Stephen P. Morse is the creator of the One-Step Website for
which he has received both the Lifetime Achievement Award and the Outstanding

Societies, Award of Merit from the National Genealogical Society, first-ever
Excellence Award from the Association of Professional Genealogists, and two
awards that he cannot pronounce from Polish genealogical societies.
In his other life Morse is a
computer professional with a doctorate degree in electrical engineering.
He has held various research, development, and teaching positions, authored
numerous technical papers, written four textbooks, and holds four patents. He
is best known as the architect of the Intel 8086 (the granddaddy of today's Pentium
processor), which sparked the PC revolution 40 years ago.
