They have a search engine of their site for that muster - http://www.virtualjamestown.org/Muster/introduction.html They do state that the originals of the 1623/4 census and the 1624/5 Muster are in the Public Record Office, London, England. The muster is also detailed in "The Virginia Muster of 1624/5 as a Source for Demographic History." William and Mary Quarterly, 3rd ser., XXX(1973):65-92. by Irene W. D. Hecht Several years ago, there was a message about the 1623/24 census on the Lower DelMarVa roots mailing list. It detailed the location of several different listings of that census. Some of those pages may no longer be available, but there is descriptive material about those various listings in the following message http://archiver.rootsweb.com/th/read/LOWER-DELMARVA-ROOTS/2003-12/1070564774 Roger A.
