Any time there is a little icon with the name on Family Search, you can see the original 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.

Proquest stopped indexing 1930 census after only 5 states and has not even bothered to resume since then. These 5 states are CT, De, MD, TX and VA.
