My Uncle's name is incorrect in the 1920 census and somebody has entered that person. His name is incorrect. I need to correct that (even though person has a source) and merge him with my record. Person who entered the other information also has his birth year incorrect. I can't read what the census record says.

So, in familysearch.org, 2 records for same person with different first names & different birth years. He was my uncle, so I am sure of my information.

    You can use "Merge by ID" to merge the two profiles, noting in the reason that the one was based on the erroneous or misindexed census record of the other.
