How can this record be indexed properly?
This census record has two of the people tied together. When you try to correct one of them, it changes the other. Rebecca F Steen and Benjamin Steen. How can they be separated?
"United States Census, 1900", database with images, FamilySearch (https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:M3LW-4DC : 14 February 2022), Rebeca F Steen, 1900.

@MDauenhauer Looking at the record image: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:S3HY-XX89-4T?i=4&cc=1325221&personaUrl=%2Fark%3A%2F61903%2F1%3A1%3AM3LW-4DC, we can see that someone has edited the name of Rebecca to show as Benjamin. Go to https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:S3HY-XX89-4T?i=4&cc=1325221&personaUrl=%2Fark%3A%2F61903%2F1%3A1%3AM3LW-4DC and click the small arrow beside the name of Benjamin F Steen just below the dark banner and you'll see that this was originally indexed as Rebeca F Steen. And we can see from the image index that it should be Rebeca. You can fix it. Click Edit up in the dark banner and change the name back to Rebeca F. and see if that takes care of the problem.
