REPORTING A CORRUPTED RECORD

I can't seem to find a simple "contact us" e-mail link. I want to report a corrupted census record. The record refuses to be attached to a family tree. I am attempting to attach a census entry to a family (the head, spouse & children). The record is corrupt and shows the head of household in four places, as the parents, as the head and as a child. It won't show the different names, it's only the head of household showing four times. Following is the record:

"United States Census, 1900", database with images, FamilySearch (https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:669Y-HZR7 : 22 December 2021), William Jomes, 1900.

Above is the citation for the 1900 census: Columbiana, Ohio, United States for William Jomes, b. 1866 showing himself, wife Maggie, children: Artie, Edith, Lotta, Gertrude and Gladys.

I am trying to attach the 1900 census record to William Jones, FSID # G9YL-L5D

This is not a basic operator error in attaching. The entry is corrupt and cannot be attached the the FSID person. Hopefully an administrator will read and investigate the error. Thank you. Hopefully I'll get a response when the file is corrected. Thank you.

    There is currently a known problem with the 1900 US census. There are several threads on the subject - such as https://community.familysearch.org/en/discussion/111793/a-gremlin-in-the-1900-us-census-kearny-new-jersey#latest
