I should definitely have included the word "online" at the end of my second sentence. I don't anticipate going to the library to look at microfilm for the US census images as long as I have my computer. But I am recording the roll #. ;) --Paula

I think it is my experience indexing that made me realize that the roll # and page # have nothing at all to do with finding someone in the census images. They don't now (unindexed) and they won't later (indexed). Also, I see that the sheet numbers are unique within the ED, so... It must truly be something to do with the whole microfilm approach. <snip> 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).
