I use Heritage Quest to look up census information (when I am not stuck with http://pilot.familysearch.orghttp://pilot.familysearch.org - and I wish that I had Ancestry dot com, but anyway). They use a certain system to organise the records: series, roll, page. Sometimes, the census records themselves have their own pagination system. For the 1900 census informaiton that I posted above, the series etc. is as follows.
series T623, roll 302, page 198
I was able to trace the family back to 1870 in Kansas. Guess what Cresswell was named for, eh.

They weren't exactly doing well in 1870 in Kansas. Notice the name of the Township. Gotta dash, teens want the computer here.
