I'm coming in a little late to this discussion. The number of rolls is not as important as the state, county, city/town, ED number in the later census records, page number and line number.
On the 1930 and 1940 census Ancestry leave off the first numbers of the ED. Enumeration District: 81 is actually Enumeration District: 11 - 81. 1930, NJ. Family Search, Archives.com, and Fold3 give the full ED number. You want to leave enough information for that person to be located again. You can add "Digital image downloaded from _www.ancestry.com_ (http://www.ancestry.com) on [date]" That gives the credit to Ancestry but also gives the exact information Marie Marie Varrelman Melchiori, CG, CGL Melchiori Research Services, L.L.C. --------------------------------------------------------------- CG, Certified Genealogist and CGL, Certified Genealogical Lecturer are service marks of the Board for Certification of Genealogists ® , used under license by Board-certified associates after periodic competency evaluations.

Don't give in that easy :) Just remember the National Archives in your Source and Citation. Ancestry deserves the credit if that is where you saw the image. Just remember, make sure there is enough information to be able for someone else to direct them to the actual document(s) (National Archives) to find the census. == Utah, Iron County. 1880 U.S. census, population schedule. Digital images. Ancestry.com. http://www.ancestry.com: 2007. From the National Archives microfilm publication. T1, roll 123. Then... Cite 1800 U.S. census, Iron County, Utah, population schedule, Enumeration District 888, p.65, dwelling 345, family............ You can see one can find the Source of the information and detailed (citation) and still give Ancestry the credit. If they go out of business, one can still find the census. I think the Source Writer will guide you. -- Tim Rosenlof > > Surely appreciate your clear heads on this one. > Barb > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Tim Rosenlof" <[email protected]> > To: <[email protected]> > Sent: Sunday, July 22, 2012 1:07 PM > Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Adding resource document > > > The Source for US Census will _always_ be from the _National Archives_ > no matter what service or company you use to view them. > Example: > > Tenth Census of the United States, 1880.
