Source Linker Issue
Please see the example below of an issue when trying to correctly attach this source to the family. There should be 4 different family members instead of 3 all with the same name. I assume this issue will clear up if I am patient, but I wanted you aware of it in case it hasn't been reported. I have tried switching browsers, and clearing my cookies & cache, and the problem still exists.

I'm afraid I can't make heads or tails of any of this: neither your question nor the census index are making any sense to me.
The profile of Marvel Hill Lane (K2JZ-ZQZ) shows a father Williston Hollis, wife Minnie, and sons Leslie, Albert, and Allen with birthdates of 1900 or earlier. Other than Albert and Allen being the same person (since there's no indication I can find of them being twins), this is all fine, but there aren't even two family members with the same name, never mind four, like you wrote.
The 1900 census index for this family is... messed up. The entry that has been edited to read Marvel H Lane (originally indexed as Muril, which seems in line with what's on the image) doesn't show any other family members on the detail page (https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:M3L9-9HL), and the entry attached to Allen (that the profile was apparently based on) gives the "This Record has been removed" error message. The Image Index tab for the image is highly incomplete; it doesn't show any of the Lane family.
I don't know how or why, but Source Linker is apparently interpreting the entry for Marvel/Muril as two and a half people: the head, his son, and sort of his father. "Sort of" because the top black triangle never resolves into a message: whatever attachment it's trying to complain about has somehow partially been deleted. The head and his son are both attached to Marvel Hill.
I suspect that the mess was caused by a known error/bug in the 1900 census, whereby editing anything caused the same name to show for every family member, or the rest of the family to disappear. Some of it got fixed, but apparently not this family. @Maile L, can you by any chance figure out who to send this up to for repair?

Thank you. I will give it a few days and see if the issue has cleared up.
