    1. [GM] 1810 Census page order question
    2. Cheryl Freeman
    3. I am reviewing some census research done previously using NARA film, by now looking at the images at Ancestry. I am noting that the pages in the 1810 Richland District, South Carolina census are numbered thus: Ancestry image 15 Number printed on sheet: 178 Page number of top image: 329 Page number of bottom image: 304 Ancestry image 16 Sheet number written in left margin: 178A Page number of top image: 303 Page number of bottom image: 330 Ancestry image 17 Number printed on sheet: 179 Page number of top image: 331 Page number of bottom image: 302 Ancestry image 18 Sheet number written in left margin: 179A Page number of top image: 332 Page number of bottom image: 301 I am trying to figure out the relationship between the page number at the top of the sheet and that at the bottom. Were these pages somehow folded into a "booklet" then unfolded for filming, or is the person whose name is at the top of page 304 actually head of household of the next farm after the last person on page 329. Hopefully this makes sense, and it would be very helpful to me in determining who lived near whom in 1910. Thanks Cheryl Freeman "Cheryl Freeman" <cheryl@genattic.com>
