Hi Everyone, I am having a problem sourcing an item. I am hoping someone can help me. I got an original enlistment record. as well as, a very formal appointment to sergeant from the army during world war I. It is not from a service record or NARA. It came from one of my cousins, who is allowing me to copy them. They belonged to his father, one of my ancestors. I looked on Evidence Explained website, as well as , the book and I could only find sources for service records from NARA. The book is so big, I might be looking in the wrong place. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks for your help in advance.

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. > Kay > > > > > ________________________________ > From: Janice Sellers <janicemsj@gmail.com> > To: Katherine Rudolph <khrhome@yahoo.com> > Sent: Tuesday, October 30, 2012 9:11 PM > Subject: Re: [TGF] Heritage Quest > > Kay, > > I found a very poor image on Ancestry today and tried using your > method to get the page on HeritageQuest, but I ran into a problem. > 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: ???
