Head of Family data shows on all records in family?
For example: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:M34S-ML7?cid=fs_copy
The data for the people on this page is such that the data for the head of the family is applied to every record. This makes it difficult to attach sources to the people in the tree since the names are all the same, as well as date of birth, sex, etc. How does one get this fixed? I've run across it before, but don't see a method to fix it. If I change the information (using the record edit option) it just changes it for all the records in the family group on that page. So, not a solution. It seems to be a programming problem, really.
Anyone found a solution to the problem?
Thanks!

@HeatherRulz Looking at the census image and the image index, it appears that someone edited the name of Alson (the head of the household) to Estella. So, currently, Estella shows twice in the index. If you were to edit the entry for Alson back to his name, the problem should go away. The other household members show in the index with the correct names.
