    1. [TGF] Counting lines on an 1800 U.S. census image
    2. LeRoy Atkins via
    3. I am viewing an image of an 1800 U.S. population schedule at Ancestry.com. A single image appears to have an space indicating two pages are displayed with a single camera shot. Three towns are listed, 1st Hancock with 11 heads of households listed; 2nd Goshen with 1 person listed; on the same sheet 6 names in Vergennes. The the person I am citing is 19 lines down on apparently the next sheet, also in Vergennes. Hancock 11 lines Goshen 1 lines Vergennes 6 lines Vergennes 19 lines to get to the one Eli is on Do I cite him, Eli Roberts II [2nd], as on line 19, 25, or 37? LeRoy I hope it is not necessary to look at the page. However it is in Addison County, Vermont.

    3. LeRoy -- If the second page has its own number, I would say line 19. But it might be wise to give yourself some elbow room in the citation and explain that the name Vergennes appears only on what seems to be the previous page. If you are feeling a bit uncertain, you can consult the original microfilm at the Internet Archive: https://archive.org/stream/populationsc18000051unit#page/n15/mode/2up Good luck!
