For years I wondered why one family of mine had farmed out a child to another family after the death of the child's mother. Seemed possible, but still strange. The child was listed several pages (Microfilm) away from the rest of the family. Upon reexamining the microfilm, I discovered that my family was listed on the bottom of the page, all except the two year old daughter. The next page of the microfilm was actually out of order! Several pages later, at the top of what should have been the NEXT page, (after my family listing) was my little girl, at the very top of that page. The family had been split onto two pages, then the pages had been filmed out of order. It pays to check the actual page numbers noted by the census taker, and make sure that the pages have been filmed in order. The little girl, who had been indexed with the family of the preceding page, was actually, the last listed child of my family. Keep searching! Doris F.
