I'd like to attach the 1901 Census of Ireland to members of the FS FT. A search of the FS indexed names does not produce a result for that family. It works for 1911. The names are fairly legible. I've tried name variations without success. This is the link to the nationalarchives.ie census image in question. Can someone figure out why FS cannot locate this image? /https://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/reels/nai000720762/

If you cannot find the record linked through FamilySearch, you can attach the source using the URL from the NAI website, either directly or by using RecordSeek.
The relevant Help Article: https://www.familysearch.org/en/help/helpcenter/article/how-do-i-add-an-outside-source-to-family-tree

Hope this helps.

Edit to add: the database on the NAI website is updated with corrections periodically. The linked set on FamilySearch may not be up-to-date with what is available on NAI.

Hello @Judy Olsen_3

I see that you have already attached the 1901 census record manually as @Áine Ní Donnghaile has suggested.

This is found in the person page for Samuel Galloway GMT9-1LR

As to your original question. I believe that some records do get very occasionally missed in the import process to FamilySearch. This would appear to be one of those.

On a more general note, there are a few errors of detail in the FamilySearch page for Samuel and some of his family. Although I don't believe you will be able to locate the 1901 census record via FamilySearch search for the reasons you have already discovered, if these little items are cleared up, it may lead to the uncovering of some additional relevant records.
