Is there a way to fix a "missed family" in a 1900 census indexed record? On the page below, after the youngest member of the Fitch family (Thomas) the NORRIS family appears to have been skipped, as the indexed record goes straight to the Stradley family. How do I report this to get fixed? I don't believe it is letting me post the URL.

    The Norris family was not skipped.

    The issue is that the names shown in the index are not always displayed in the same order as on the image of the census page. If you scroll down in the index, you will see the listings for J H, Rebecca, Viroie, Quincy,Ella, Walter, and Mary Norris. https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:S3HY-DYJJ-JP
