Another thing about pages, sometimes you will have a written page number and a 
stamped one.  If you have both, go with the stamped.  If there is only a 
handwritten one then you have to go with that one.  You will see this mostly on 
the older censuses.  The stamped one is the sequential numbers for the whole 
county.  The penned ones are by enumerator and there can be several of the same 
page number in a county.  To cite the page number correctly (according to 
Evidence Explained which is what Legacy recommends) you will either have

142 [stamped]

or

32 [penned]


You want to say if the page number is penned or stamped because again, that 
helps the person coming behind you to find the correct page.
