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. ----- Original Message ---- From: Kirsten Bowman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: LegacyUserGroup@legacyfamilytree.com Sent: Monday, March 3, 2008 12:27:32 PM Subject: RE: [LegacyUG] Census Formats? Totally confused!! 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.
