How to correct 1950 US Census index for family split across multiple images?

I am new to this forum community so apologies if there is already discussion around this issue in another thread!


I came across an instance of a family unit that spans two images in the 1950 US Census records. Only the individuals located at the bottom of page 1 are included in the index. The index for page 2 omits the remaining family members at the top of the page and begins with the next recorded family unit.


I am not seeing any sort of options to include the "skipped" family members via an edit...is there something I am missing or is that not a current feature within the 1950 US Census data set?

    @Nathan Margrett There is not yet a way to fix the inaccurate family groupings in the 1950 US Census. That census on FamilySearch is still a work in progress. At some point, after a special team finishes some final reviewing, you will be able to fix errors in the index, including getting households properly grouped.
