Multiple people indexed on same "index ID"?

EricaJudd · January 3

I am not sure how individual index records are identified and recorded, so am unsure if index ID is the right term.

I have twice run across multiple people in a census record linked to the same index ID.

I would love to fix this, but am pretty sure some kind of ticket needs to be submitted first.

The head of household and wife are indexed as the same person.

Changes to one changes both.

How do I add an additional index record to the page?

Thanks for any insight anyone can provide!

There is a known problem with the 1900 census, and it is in the hands of the developers to fix. See this thread, among others: https://community.familysearch.org/en/discussion/111793/a-gremlin-in-the-1900-us-census-kearny-new-jersey#latest
