As many of you know, one can look up the 1850-1930 US census transcriptions at:
https://www.familysearch.org/s/collection/list#page=1®ion=NORTH_AMERICA
The 1890 census was 99.9% destroyed by fire.
A couple of weeks back, FS linked the 1910/20 images to the transcription.
Now the only unlinked years are 1880, 1930 (plus 1890).
Before 1850, there was not a full listing of names in a h/h - just the head of h/h, and # in various age/sex categories.
I'll give an example of how to get free access to 1880, 1930 images below.
Here's an 1880 look up on FS

For the image, go to http://www.archive.org/details/1880_census
Click Iowa, then reel 365, then read online, and we get:
http://www.archive.org/stream/10thcensus0365unit#page/n0/mode/2up
Now change the URL to, say:
http://www.archive.org/stream/10thcensus0365unit#page/n463/mode/1up
Find a nice name on the page and look them up on FS (a nice name is one that's clear so there's no transcription worries, and a bit unusual so we're not stuck with 300 John Smiths to examine)
I picked - Line 19 James M Mills a=61 - and the look up got - Page: 498
It's a surprise it's so far out (maybe it always is in 1880), but when I check the header, I'm not even in Grant Twp - I'm in Indian Village Twp.
http://www.archive.org/stream/10thcensus0365unit#page/n430/mode/1up
is in Howard Twp.
http://www.archive.org/stream/10thcensus0365unit#page/n400/mode/1up
is in Grant Twp, - Line 3 Jannet Sloss a=38 - and the FS look up got - Page: 467
The image I want is:
