Member Since: May 2007 Posts: 126 Send Message	Can someone explain the RG, piece, folio etc to me. If I know the information ie numbers, why can I find the family on one site and yet not another? Surely, the numbers refer to the census form and should therefore be searchable on all genealogy sites?

	They should in theory be on all sites, but I know that sometimes on Ancestry when you search with the RG numbers, Ancestry brings up the wrong image. Human error I suppose when scanning the records. Kath. x
