I found my Grandfather in the index and his last name was spelled incorrectly. I contacted the site and they said that was how it was originally put in and it could not be corrected. So if they have changed their policy, I'm glad to hear it. I'll try to notify them again. Thanks Amy.

What I mean by that is if the person's last name appears on the certificate and index as JOHNSON, but the person's name was actually JOHNSTON, the index is correct in this case (even though the certificate is wrong). What they *will* change is if the index is incorrect. Using our example above, if the certificate reads JOHNSON, but the index reads JOHNSTON, they will change the index to reflect what is actually on the certificate.
