Which procedure is best?

I'm reviewing names in the 1950 census. Lately I've run across places where the names highlighted for review skip around on the page. That is, it will give a surname on one line but skip the given name and drop down two or three lines or more and highlight another name. Is that intentional or is it an error with the system or the original AI index?

How is that reported? There doesn't seem to be any way to add a field except to report a transcription error and fill in with the line number and missing information. On some pages that would be several lines and that's OK. Just want to verify that needs to be done.

    @J. Britt Franklin, please do report this while you are on the page that has those issues. Up in the right corner above the document you will see "Feedback". Click on that and it will give options to select and you can also give an explanation. Or if you don't see one to select, if the issue doesn't apply to those listed, then you can go ahead and provide a detailed comment of what you are seeing.

    Thank you so much for working to make the records accurate.
