Hi Alta, it's not clear to me where this icon is or what it is (that you're referring to). Bruce S Haynes comes up in the search results in the 1930 Whatcom County, Washington census but when I click his name, an abstract comes up with a link to see the image at ancestry, where it's not viewable. So I'm assuming this particular image is not available on familysearch.

The icon looks like a little camera to me - very small for my old eyes, but it's a grey oblong with a circle in the center with an x in the circle. It's in front of United States Census, 1930 under Bruce S. Haynes on the search results page. The original census page is there and viewable. I looked at it. Are you using <http://www.familysearch.org>? With the connection to Ancestry, it sounds like you're using Roots.
