Errors are not always the fault of the transcriber as the original could be an error. My father's family could not be found in the 1920 census. It was when I was looking for a whole different surname that I found the family. The census had the name as Schrantz and not Schmitz. These kind of errors cannot be corrected but maybe an addendum of some sort could be added. We are dealing with the original census taker who wrote on cards. The town clerk's office would then transcribe the handwriting on these cards onto a larger sheet of paper and that is why the handwriting is so uniform for a bit - one person did the writing. Then the Ancestry or another group would do more transcribing. Lots of room for error.

As I am not a subscriber, am not allowed to address the issue? The mistakes I found on one census file is awful. My Mothers family, had her fathers middle inital wrong, three of the children's names spelled wrong, (if you look at the actual microfilm you can enlarge it and see that the spelling is wrong), so how does one get this fixed? Thank you in advance.
