    My maternal grandmother's last name was misspelled by the indexer and this mistake was not corrected by the reviewer. My grandmother's signature is on this record and clearly shows an E not an L. Encina not Lencina. I would like this corrected on the copy done by the indexer.

    Welcome to the "Community.FamilySearch" Forum.

    I am just another 'lowly' User/Patron ...

    Just in passing ...

    Please be, aware; and, advised, that ...

    NOT all "Sources" can be "Edited" (ie. "Corrected").

    Here are some "Knowledge Articles", in 'FamilySearch':

    Why can't I fix indexing or transcription errors?

    IF, you are cannot, "Edit" (ie. "Correct") a "Source"; THEN, ...

    One thing, that you can do, is to make a "Note" of ANY such "Discrepancy" in the "Title" of the "Source"; and/or, maybe, include such in the "Reason", that the "Source" is attached.

    Just my thoughts.

    I hope, that this may help/assist, somewhat.
