Person missing from index

April 9 in 1950 US Census

I'm working within the Family Review of the 1950 Census. The last person on the page is not indexed at all. Earlier in the page, one person was indexed twice...this seems to have made the count off. In order to deal with the person indexed twice issue, I just unchecked the second one. Can we add the missing person to the index? Or is there a way to alleviate the issue by adjusting the page in another way?

    I'd like to know the answer to this as well. I just came across a page where the names on rows 1 and 2 were missing so the names on the subsequent rows were incorrect (row 1 was really row 3, row 2 is row 4, etc.)

    Great question and thank you for the examples. The best thing to do in situations like this is to click on the feedback button along the top of page. Mark that there were names missing from the index. This way the issue will be fixed and resubmitted for review once it is corrected. Thank you for asking.

    I just had a situation where line 12 was indexed as Barbara Mary Alice. Mary Alice should be Line 13. This through the names off by 1 line. I reported it in Feedback. Should I continue reviewing or wait for it to be fixed? I have encountered several problems with the line numbers.
