Census Records
I'm a FamilySearch Support missionary.
A guest who looks at census records every day and cannot find census records for individuals on our site, but can on the NARA site. She says she had always used us for census research, but now it doesn't work as well. She gave me an example for Arthur Marsh, born in 1876 in Colorado. Only a couple census records come up when I search for that name. She tries, last name, first name, no birthplace. She just wanted us to know. Any suggestions of how we can report this?

Is the profile LY3F-NCX? Arthur Francis Marsh, born 29 May 1876, in Weld, Colorado.
The profile has censuses attached for 1880, 1885 CO, 1900, 1910, 1920, and 1950,2 -
@Carol Lou Hill Just in general, it usually takes several rounds of tweaking you search criteria, to retrieve all of the available censuses. However, I did have problems getting some of these that were attached to come up. I can bring this up with our Search engineering team and thank you for providing an excellent example to demonstrate.
