<P>I have been looking up/verifying some census records on FamilySearch on families I'm researching, but there is usually some weird census taker error that is not accounted for or transcribed to make sense, and I can't get them to see what I'm asking about. For example, in the 1870 census for Linn County, Missouri, where my ancestor Samuel Sumner is supposed to be the head of the Household, with his wife, daughter, and son - when I look at his page for the census on FamilySearch, there is a 4 year old Baker child on the HH line, so she is included on the family page as HH! This makes the Sumner son on the last line of the Sumner family drop down to be the HH of the next family - too strange! If I look at the image, I can see what the transciber is not allowing for - the same error by the census taker is all down the page. If that happens to me when I am referring to family I know about for sure, I can only cringe at what errors come up for people who are new to census info on familysearch!</P>

<DIV>When you say they don't have the full census, what do you mean by that? I have found some indexing errors but I found the same errors in the census indexes at my local library. As an example I have a family in Illinois that the head of household was not indexed in 1850 but his married daughter who was living with the family was. That was the only way I was able to find them.</DIV>
<DIV>Heritage quest doesn't have the 1850, 1840, or 1830 census' indexed at all. You have to use the other feature to look at them.</DIV>
