Indexing is absent for my family's 1950 Census image in FamilySearch
(Hoping to reach the proper people through Feedback.) FamilySearch Support recommended that I use Feedback to report a problem with the FamilySearch 1950 Census data. My family appears on the 1950 Census: Deschutes County, Oregon, image 39 of 49,ED: 9-26A: Election Precinct 19, Redmond Grange. However, none of the names on this image can be brought up by searching (appears to be not indexed?). The names on this image are searchable in Ancestry, so I know they were indexed. My understanding is that the 1950 Census was a FS/Ancestry joint effort, so the indexing of this image should be included in the FS data base, right? I have contacted FS support twice and can't seem to get this fixed?? Also, in Ancestry, our family name (Winkel) is incorrectly indexed as Winkell, which also needs to be corrected. I hope this posting reaches someone that can help me.

Hi. I found the image you were referring to at https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3QHK-SQH7-TCG3 and it is unindexed. That is very interesting since the last son was indexed on the next page. I will pass this info on, but you can still attach this record to individuals in the Family Tree by clicking the Attach to Family Tree button in the top right corner. If you need help knowing how to do this, please see the Help Center article How do I attach record hints in Family Tree?
