    @Bob DeViney Clicking to see the indexed information for Bessie, no household list is showing. This has sometimes happened when one of the names in the household has been edited by a user. Interestingly, we can pull up the indexed info for Lucile and William. On each of these pages, we see no household list--and yet we also see no evidence that the record has been edited. And a search of the census for Ben returns no results. It appears that this is an example of bad indexing. We are not able to re-open closed indexing projects to fix bad indexing that was not caught during the indexing process. This can be quite frustrating, of course. There is a work-around if you want to attach this census record as a source for Ben. Bring up the census image and, to the top-right of the image viewer, click Source Box. Add the image to your source box and you can attach it to your ancestor from there. Or, just copy the URL and use it to create a source from Ben's sources page in Family Tree.

    Our apologies for the error in the index.
