I do see a number stamped on this page, but it is smeared and illegible (and *4* digits on sheet 2A???). I will look for the roll #. I have seen the Ancestry source information (lists both itself and the NARA). Hmm... The more I thought about this topic, the more I wondered about this particular census... Did they make microfilm? Or just go straight to digital? Since there are roll numbers, I guess they did make microfilm. Why are there page numbers in addition to the sheet numbers? 1A (lines 1-40) and 1B (lines 41-80) make up page 1. Why would they need another page number? Is it the slide number on the microfilm roll? Within Legacy: If I select "microfilm" as the medium in the SW template, I can see why I would be prompted for the roll and page. However, if I select "online images" as the medium, the roll # and page # have no bearing on how to find my source. I mean, if you are using my citation to find what I found (purpose of the citation, right?), you don't need the roll # and page #. --Paula Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp Follow Legacy on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/LegacyFamilyTree) and on our blog (http://news.LegacyFamilyTree.com).
