Mr.Sid is an image format that is used mostly by Ancestry.com to be able to
zoom in on a document w/o pixalization occurring. Almost all of their census
records use the Mr.Sid format. I have noticed that the 1930 images do not
use this format and I think they will eventually transfer the other years to
the newer format used by the 1930 images.

They also have several other documents in Mr.Sid format notably maps etc.
