The reason we cite dwelling and family numbers on a census page is because they represent specific entries on that page that we are citing. If you want to cite the entire page, with no reference to any specific households, then you would omit the references to any specific households. However, if you are citing data from specific households, then you need to cite those specific households. You can use a range if you like.

Morning all, Just a (hopefully) quick question. How does one cite an entire census page, or multiple families on one page? For instance, to note the amount of immigrant families living as neighbors, or that various different men worked as laborers in a candy factory, say, or on the docks? Does each and every family on the page require a different citation? Can one just do a citation for the whole page and leave out the "dwelling #, family #, xxx household" bit? I know that when citing other specific households, a different entry would be required, but what about when looking at the page as a whole to compare the family of interest in relation to other families? Many thanks!
