Specifically, HQ has a specific search ability by Series, Roll, and Page (requiring all three) for those years they have indexed. The years without completed indexing (including 1880) take a few more steps but aren't difficult. Under "source information" on the page of the LDS transcribed 1880 census, there is a reference for "Census Place," including a NA Film Number (such as T9-1402), and a Page Number (133C). On HQ, you first select "browse" in the upper corner of the Heading. This will take you through a series of selections for year, state, county, and location, where you choose according to the info you got from the LDS "Census Place." When you get to the first page of the census on HQ for the census place you seek, you'll see at the top of the screen that the first part of the NA Film Number (T9) is the Series, the second part of the NA Film Number (1402) is the Roll, and you just have to find your way to the Page Number that matches the reference you seek. You can either browse through one page at a time, or you should be able to mathematically figure and fill in the image number you wish in the "Go to image" box or come very close, (keeping in mind that most page numbers have at least an A and B, and some also have C and D. (As you browse, you'll usually notice the same page number at the top of the screen at least twice, though the actual page or sheet number originally placed on the census image is different.) You can copy and save on the computer or print a HQ census page the same as you would any other website page on the internet, so you can have a copy in your files. Diane genmail@1st.net
