1950 Census indexing consistently wrong for LaSalle County, Illinois
Every record in the 1950 Census for LaSalle County has the "Event Place" as "La Salle, LaSalle, Illinois, United States" regardless of the contents of "Event Place (Original)". What can be done to fix this problem?
The image below shows the top 4 results in a search of the 1950 Census for families in LaSalle County with the surname of "Swanson":
1) Tennis Swanson: actually in Crotty (a.k.a. Seneca): https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:6X1K-B3FM
