Hi Alta, when I click on Bruce's name after it comes up in the search results the gray box to the left has a white box overlaid on top of it with the message "the original message is viewable at ancestry.com" and underneath that another link to ancestry saying "At ancestry.com you can view, print, and save the original image" (ha! Not in this case.) Below that, there is a clickable link that says "Visit partner site." Ancestry seems to be the only option in this case for seeing this image.

To see the image on Family Search: 1. Click on the name of the searched-for person. 2. Click on "Explore viewing options" in the grey box at the left - pale print on a white background and hard to see. 3. Click on "Sign in." 4. Type in your user name and password or create a new account. 5. Click on Sign In. 6. This takes you to the "indexed page" that you were at before but now it says "view image" in the box. 7. Click on "View Image" and read the original census page. Unfortunately, the indexers on Heritage Quest made mistakes the same as the ones on the other sites did. I also want to see the original image. I don't trust the indexers' spelling and I want to see the info that's not in the index. I hope this helps.
