1950 census - How to add missing index records
How can we correct (or request correction) when a census page index does not include all the names or people on the page?
An example is: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3QHN-PQHW-294B-Q?i=15&cc=4464515
Only 10 of the 30 records on this page are indexed - and I don't see a way to add missing information or flag the page for review/edit.
Specifically: the top family (Felix) is a continuation of the prior page, but not indexed on either image. Neither is the second family (Amtmann?), Hazel Krieger, the Dunne family (6 people), Laura Thomas, Nellie Brouss, and the Harris family (3 on this page, 2 on the next).

@SteveDonahue1 For now, all we can do is encourage patience. Full editing of the 1950 US census is coming--we do not have a date on that yet. And we have a team reviewing the current index to find things like missed names and get them fixed. So, things will improve in time.

I noticed names missing from the Washington, D.C. census on pages 77 and 78 (images 26 and 27 of 27). This just happened to be my family and our neighbors. Edgar L. Moore, Esther E. Moore, Gerry E. Moore, Esther Arnold, Alma Cope. I also noticed in searching the 1950 Census that Washington, D.C. is often entered incorrectly as Washington Township, Iowa, United States.

I, too, have found missing names on the 1950 census. I have indexed for Family Search for YEARS and was so excited to have the 1950 census come out. I would be on it!!! Well, my family was left out. I have checked and rechecked, gone to the census itself and found my family. I checked other names on the page and none of them happen to be indexed. SO.... in the Jennings, Jefferson Davis Parish, Louisiana, Ed 27-11, sheet 6, W Clara Street, all the names seem to be missing. The family I was looking for was Floyd J LeBlanc, Mary D LeBlanc, Floyd J Jr, and Jeanne M LeBlanc, Let me know if I can help. Thank you!
