    I have been doing cousins research using Ancestry. When I came across a family who had information on the same family with a different family surname, it was puzzling. So I did some looking for the source of the wrong surname. What I found was that the source seems to be a 1950 US Census index.

    It seems to be a Film# 108803564 Image 2 of 28 from Salt Lake City, Utah.

    Lines 4-8 are the family of Vern E Hubbard. This is the correct family that I was working with.

    Starting at line 20 in the Bergstrom Family.

    When I looked at the indexing done, it appears that Bergstrom surname was used for the all of the Hubbard family instead of their correct surname of Hubbard.

    Is it possible to get this redone correctly for all of the families on this page. Then maybe we could get the information for the Hubbard family corrected in their Family Search records.

    Thank you for your consideration.
