1900 US census, Pennsylvania, Berks County, ED 84

Enumeration District 84 in Berks County, Pennsylvania, is missing from your site. I can find ED 84 (and its people) easily on Ancestry, but - as far as I can tell - the ED is not included on FamilySearch. None of the people enumerated in that ED are not in the index and I can also not get at the pages by browsing.

    @Kristine Smets, it appears that a number of Reading City Wards and precincts are missing from the 1900 United States Census Collection that is held by FamilySearch. ED 84 is Reading City, Ward 11, Precinct 2. This Collection is found here:

    https://www.familysearch.org/search/collection/1325221

    In addition to this Collection, 1900 United States Census records for Pennsylvania can also be found in the Catalog entry, Pennsylvania, 1900 federal census : soundex and population schedules, Which can be found here:

    https://www.familysearch.org/search/catalog/641949?availability=Family%20History%20Library

    The film that contains Berks County, ED 84 is found on page 7 of 8 and is film no. 4114993. ED 84 begin at image 79. You should note that these census records appear to be unindexed, per the statement at the bottom of the page, "No indexes are available."

    You may wonder at the presence of a magnifying glass icon, next to the film number. It appears that part of the film is indexed and can be found via the index. However, this is not the case for ED 84. I suspect that the part of that film which can be found by using the index matches those Enumeration Districts which can be found in the Collection, first mentioned above.

    I hope that this helps. Unfortunately, I expect that we will not see a correction to the Collection, to add these missing enumeration districts - at least in the near term.
