After all the issues with the scrambled index of the 1900 US Federal Census, there are still some dregs remaining.

An example: The Wolfgang and Josephine Herbst family in Newark, Essex, New Jersey. https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:M9JH-W3Z

The family starts at the bottom of Page 1

and continues at the top of Page 2

Unfortunately, the index has now lost mother Josephine while doubling the children.

@N Tychonievich or @Maile L This is just one example of the remaining problems.

    @Áine Ní Donnghaile Thank you for reporting this one. We'll add it to our report about issues with the indexed data for the 1900 US Census. Given your experience, I assume you know how to use the image as a source, thus bypassing the flawed index.

    Thanks, @N Tychonievich I do indeed know how to bypass. I've had to do that far too many times with the recent issues.
