1860 census was indexed a long time ago, but page is missing info...

I've found family on this page:

You can see only one name indexed when there should be 38. Not sure how it got through quality control. How do we request that this page be indexed so that I can link the source to my family?

Thanks!

    @Jim Laudie Unfortunately, FamilySearch does not currently re-open closed indexing projects to make corrections to the index.

    Well, the good news is that you've found the record. If you've found an image, you can always attach it as a source, even if it has been completely mangled in the index. It's just a different process than Source Linker. I wrote instructions on another thread earlier this week: https://community.familysearch.org/en/discussion/comment/449832#Comment_449832.

    Thank you for the tip. I have gone ahead and done that. But it still would be good for someone in the family search side to go back and index that page. Is there a process for requesting that?

    Thanks for the response. Too bad there’s not a process for that. Makes the FamilySearch one look less competent than the Ancestry side which has that page indexed correctly.

    FWIW, I found more pages like that in the same census, same county. Would be good for someone to take a look.
