Great-grandparents last name spelled wrong on Census and in the interpretation.

ZLinda4

It is in the description as: Robert Loot

Principal

United States Census, 1920

Birth 1879 

Arkansas, United States 

Census 1920 

Creek, Oklahoma, United States 

Spouse Laura Toot

Children Ester Toot, Mamie Toot, Jessie Toot

The only reason I found them was that my grandmother had told me that they lived close to to my grandfather's (Emmit Smith) family. When I found the W. E. Smith Family and all the family names matched I checked the next page... not there. I went back to the prior page and there at the top was Grandma Mamie and her mother and sisters. Only the name was spelled with two "O"s instead of two "T"s. When I went back to find her another day I couldn't. I had to go to the page Looking for grandpa Smith. Then I find the above. Rather insulting for her to be listed this way not to mention hard to find for any researchers. Is there any way to get this changed. I understand the census it's self cannot be changed. But the interpretation of what was written should be.

You are in luck. Their Surname is editable to Lott - when editing you just choose the option 'incorrect in document'.

I went ahead and edited those.
