Alan ~ Depending on what records you're looking for, you might check with an LDS family history center to see what they have available to the public on film or with questions about the LDS' FamilySearch on-line offerings. They might be able to help you "backtrack" to the repository of the underlying documents that were copied/filmed. The following site provides a recent summary of U. S. Census records provided by the FamilySearch site >> http://www.geneamusings.com/2010/06/us-census-records-on-familysearchorg.html. You can find a family history center locator at http://www.familysearch.org/eng/library/fhc/frameset_fhc.asp. It's interesting to me to see that sometimes different copies of the "same" underlying document, available from different repositories, will look different -- the copies themselves might have been made from different copies of the original document (or from different "originals"), or at different times, and therefore might reflect different markings, etc. I'll wonder why names have been crossed out or added, figures changed, etc. -- and wonder who made the changes, when, and why. Presumably, such changes in the record sometimes are "official" in some sense of the word, but in many/most cases they must reflect "bandit" changes made on the underlying document. ... which, of course, shouldn't be confused with the document's "accuracy," whether pristine or altered.
