My Grandfather, Joseph Edward Wetch, is listed in the 1950 Census, District 7, Yellowstone, Montana. When this Census was indexed, it was done incorrectly. The "Event Place" is listed as "Billings Montana Temple, Billings, Yellowstone, Montana, United States." I have tried to edit it on the page, but I can't. I am hoping someone can fix this. It also happens again for a few more of my relatives. I will attached links that will hopefully help.

These are all in one family.

    The place was standardized incorrectly by the computer. You can see Original listed under the Event Place, which is correct. You can report this by doing the following:

    • Click EDIT in the indexed record to open the editing page.
    • Click on the Feedback tab, usually on the left-hand side of the screen.
    • Choose an emoji.
    • Enter the error or issue with the record in the box below the emojis.
    • Click Submit.
