The 1910 census images are stored by numbered pages in the order they were taken by the enumerator. Locate the person in question on the 1910 Census Index . Then go to the page listed. If the person is not listed on that page, go to the other image on that page (e.g. 107a to 107b.) To enlarge the image click on the image’s enlargement button or right-click the image and “zoom in.” NOTE: These are reproductions of the actual census ledgers and vary in quality from very poor to fair. Because of the poor quality, many of the names are illegible. If the person for whom you are searching does not appear to be in the index, try other possible spellings.

Rather than relying on the Index, Always go to the actual images.
