    1. [GM] 1910 Census problems @ Ancestry.com
    2. I am sorry for the length of this message, but I have come across a problem with the ancestry census images. One of us has gone haywire, and I'm not willing to admit it's me! Someone looked up my ancestor and gave me the location in the 1910 census. I went to the ancestry site, and found him. Another ancestor was not found in the index, however, this same census district had his street, so I decided to read through all of it. I found some of the pages from this district were missing. Scrolling through the ED, I noticed that this district included pages for other districts, and some pages for my district were missing. I made a list of the census page numbers 1a,1b, 2a, 2b etc, and marked the image # where they could be found, in an effort to see which pages were missing. When I started this project, I noted that there were about a dozen pages from a different district [ED 177] appearing here and there, and I wrote them all down also. When I went back to double check, these image #'s now refer to different pages of the census - at the moment they are all in ED 176 - some still missing, some duplicates. I am looking at ED 176 for 1910 Providence RI, The missing street numbers seem to be between 113-138, 140-142, 144-210 Langdon St - I'm looking for 189 Langdon. What in the world is going on?
