Welcome to OZ

I have a very blurred copy of the 13th census for the town of (looks like) Kearny? Page No. 225 and I just cannot read the column and sub column headings.
Could someone please advise.

Hi Joe, hope this helps you -- if you want me to scan a clear copy of the blank census form, PM me your private email and I will send it to you as an email attachment tomorrow.
Sending a scan of the actual page you are trying to read may not be helpful --- it will be a scan of a scan (printed out) and may be worse than what you are looking at now.
I think on Ancestry, you can email census images to yourself or Save them in your file -- in which case they may be a bit clearer but if the "original" copy is blurry it won't help.
If you want, I can also look up the census image and try to "interrpret" anything you are unsure about. In which case, I need to know in where "Kearny" is -- county or town  and the name (s)/family you are looking for. I know of Kearny town/city in Nebraska, New Jersey and Arizona -- maybe more??
I have some census images which I've looked at for 2 years -- printed out -- and still trying to figure out bits of the info!!
Regards,
lissa
