    3. Sometimes the indexers get mixed up with which page number to assign--whether the penned number or the stamped. In this case, familysearch and ancestry assigned the penned page number and heritagequest assigned the stamped page number. Fortunately, having access to ancestry, you can see that there are two possible page numbers for this sheet. (The page you are looking for is, in fact, located at image 2 of page 86.) UNfortunately, in most cases where one would need to use heritagequest you don't have an image that you can examine to see if there were errors in the indexing. In that event your only recourse would be to browse through the ENTIRE roll to find the right enumeration district and page number--and the problem is exacerbated because you would need to view each of the different images available for each page number.  To add insult to injury, this is one instance where the image on heritagequest is actually WORSE than the image on ancestry. So, not a perfect system by any means.

According to FamilySearch, the page in the 1930 census I am looking for is: enumeration district number:     0161 family number:     322 sheet number and letter:     14A line number:     37 nara publication:     T626, roll 200 But when I input T626, roll 200, and page 14 into HeritageQuest, I get page 14 for EDs 123, 138, and 143.  Help!  What am I doing wrong? This is the family I'm looking for: https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/XC6B-S99# Thanks very much for any advice. Janice Sellers
