My family's last name is incorrect in the 1910 census record and here is the link for it: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:33SQ-GRVC-ZRD?i=8&cc=1727033&personaUrl=%2Fark%3A%2F61903%2F1%3A1%3AM544-SM9

This is attached to Elizabeth Bergen Courtelyou KC28-HLF She married Merle Cooke. The name should be Cooke not Coop.


I'm concerned if someone does a search they won't find it because the name is miss-spelled.
