This is the second time that people have asked for a record on a certain
page in the 1850 and Kelly reports that it is on a different page. The
discrepancy here may be in what page number you are using. Locally we
generally tell people using the film to use the page in the upper right
hand corner which is how most federal indexes are done, but on occasion
you will find that they are using the number in the upper left hand
corner which sometimes gets repeated or so it seems to me. Thus, they
are probably on the same page once you look at the film but you are
reading the number from different sides of the film. Henny
