Err.. it could only be located again if:
1). The original documents (or digital images) thereof were available.
2). The Original documents (or digital images thereof) had been cross-indexed
with the original ED and page number so that one could acyually go straight to
the source without a visual search of each page to locate the info.
Both of the above conditions would have to be met- otherwise it would be trying
to locate a needle in a haystack.

Elizabeth:
You raise an excellent point, and there's not even a world catastrophe
required. Some years ago the Archives of Ontario (Canada) renumbered
many--if not all--of their records for a computer-related reason. What if
the FHC or the NARA someday needed to do the same thing? I agree that the
simple source citations are by far the best. Data taken from the census
page itself would never be changed and could be located again via any
repository.
