Ok, now I am confused. Mills is supposed to make sourcing more consistent but it isn't! Yesterday I put in census records for 1850-1930 (all the years that have names and not just numbers). For each year the source writer asks for different information. In some years it asks for the "person of interest" and some years not. In some years it askes for the dwelling and family number and in some years only the dwelling number. All of this info is available for all of those years but sometimes it asks for it and sometimes if doesn't. I don't get it.

Are you sure you were looking at exactly the same type of Master Source each time? Because I just looked at the 1850, 1860 and 1870 Federal Population Census, online images, and all three were absolutely consistent, asking for Page, Dwelling No, Family No and ID of person every time.
