A new (and different) error in the 1900 U.S. Census

@N Tychonievich I came across this record tonight, which has the widowed head of household repeated several times for each of her children:

Mary Mooney, "United States Census, 1900" • FamilySearch

I'm not sure how else to report this problem.

@Fredelas from reddit My apologies that your post got lost in the shuffle. I will report the error to the group that can work on getting the index corrected. They have a large backlog of issues they are working through, so we can't predict how long it will take to get things corrected.

Meanwhile, you might consider using the image of the census page as your source, thus bypassing the flawed index. You can add it to your source box and attach from there. Or you can copy the URL of the image and use that to create a source.

Here are some Help Center articles that provide details for creating sources and using Source Box, in case this is a new idea for you:
