[Genealib] 1905 Iowa State Census

[Kristen Smith]

Does anyone have experience working with the 1905 Iowa State Census?
According to the book State Census Records by Ann S. Lainhart, these
records are supposed to list "members of the household, place of birth
of father and mother, occupation, war service, number of years in Iowa
and U.S. if foreign born."   However, when I pull up the records in
Ancestry's Iowa State Census Collection, 1836-1925  the only information
listed for 1905 is Card Number/ Name of Person / Post office Address.
What do these card numbers refer to?  Do these cards contain more
information?  Is there a way to access these cards?  What am I missing?


 

Thanks so much for your time and expertise!

 

Kind Regards,
