Central America, Colonial Census Records - FamilySearch Historical Records/Known Issues

Question 1
Question 1: Throughout this collection, when I browse I never know from where any image is going to be from … it bounces around on me. For example: If I am browsing through Guatemala &gt; Alta Verapaz &gt; Cobán" &gt; 1887-Padrones &gt; Image 26 of 992 and click on NEXT -&gt;, the path changes to Guatemala &gt; Suchitepéquez &gt; Mazatenango &gt; 1887-Padrones &gt; Image 27 of 992. How do I know for sure where the record originates since there is no reference to the city on the image? Answer 1: These final waypoints are considered to be “wandering breadcrumbs”; that is, some final waypoints flip back and forth between different localities. Until the problem is resolved, you will have to read each image to determine the proper location.
