A Note about Census Page Numbers
A number by itself refers to the page with that number stamped on it. A number followed by the letter R refers to the page before the one with that stamped page number. Be aware that not all indexes use the same set of numbers, and some attach unnumbered pages to the preceding page, and some to the next page. If you do not find a person where you expect, check several pages on each side.
