United States Census, 1910 - FamilySearch Historical Records/Known Issues

Known Issues
Question #1: Why am I not able to view the image when I login, but am directed to Ancestry.com where I have to pay for the image? Are there other options for viewing the images? Answer #1: 


 * FamilySearch has rights to publish images online to users from the supporting organization only (The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints). Patrons logging in with an LDS account will be able to view the images at the FamilySearch.org. You may also view the images without cost at our FamilySearch Centers.
 * The films may be ordered from the Family History Library Catalog. (See Ordering Microfilm and Microfiche) They can then be viewed at a local FamilySearch Center.
 * U.S. Censuses can also be viewed free of charge through Heritage Quest at local libraries.

Question #2: The images I have been looking for are out of focus. What can I do to help me read the images? Answer #2: The problems with the images occurred because exposures varied on the original films. Rescanning will not improve the quality.

Question #3: Some records give the township and county as Moulton or Mason, Murray, Minnesota when the image shows that the record is from McLeod County, Minnesota. Which is correct? Answer #3: These records, images 425 to 825 found in the file labeled DGS Film Number 004330232 are from McLeod County.

Question #4: On the indexed information page there are times when two unrelated families appear to be linked together as one family. Why is this? Answer #4: There were times when the census taker did not number families separately or when he/she numbered the family separately beginning with the wife, instead of the husband, which cause confusion when the records were indexed. When the original record is available to view; always use the information listed on the original record and not the indexed information.

Question #5: I am looking for an ancestor in Provo, Utah. Are there missing pages in that area? Answer #5: Ward 4, Provo, Utah, Utah, Enumeration District 195, sheet 22A is missing from the online collection. The missing sheet may be viewed in Frame 188 of the FHL microfilm 1375623. For other options refer to Question and Answer #1.
