Asa Dowdy at the bottom of the page is not connected to his children on the next page.

FS will not find the children in a search.

How may the family be united on the census record?

    The 1950 census has the new edit-everything index correction tool, in which you can fix household groupings like this.

    Unfortunately, it's complicated enough that in figuring out instructions for fixing it, I ended up fixing it myself.

    No idea how to get it to list the people sensibly on the index detail page (https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:6F9M-WLTZ); they seem to be in random order right now.
