Hungary bad indexing, Source Linker making it worse
A Hungarian woman typically does not take her husband's surname but may be identified as "wife of" by tacking -ne on her husband's name. This Lidia Biro is wife of Andras Zsoldos. But the Source Linker will not let me attach Zsoldos Andrasné to Biro Lidia.
(I can make the attachment on the Record page.)

The name isn't the reason it's lining up wrong; it's the misindexed role/relationship of "husband". But you can actually force Source Linker to attach it to Lidia; it just may take a few whacks upside the head, in the form of repeated use of the "Change" drop-downs on both sides. (And if all else fails, there's always the "by ID" option on the right.)
Just yesterday I attached a record that had the godparents misindexed as the parents, meaning that I attached "Bíró István" to Karácsony Imre and "Szelle Rebekával" to Mihály Julianna. (It was from the Slovakia Church Books, which are not correctable.)

Repeated use of the Change menus and the "by ID" option did not work. The Source Linker kept flipping the other side of the table to match. Entry from the Record right margin worked.
I mention the -ne construct for the benefit of readers not familiar with Hungarian names. Apparently the indexer (robot?) was not familiar either.
