Never used this forum before, apologies in advance if this belongs in a different category.

There is a family in the 1940 Census whose three youngest children are "missing." They're actually listed at the top of the following page, but the indexer omitted them. Here is the family's Head of Household.

Who can I contact about getting the children indexed with their family? Thanks in advance.

    The three children were indexed; they're just not grouped into the family correctly.

    I don't know if there's anyone tasked with making these kinds of corrections at FS. All I know is that lowly users like you and me cannot do them.

    Thank you for finding them. I didn't see them when looking at the list of individuals indexed below the census image and I wasn't sure how to search for them without a surname.

    I edited their names on those pages you linked to include their surname. Hopefully some higher-up will wonder why I did that and read my explanation in the change notes.
