this concerns the 1950 US Census Bainbridge Township, Dubois, Indiana, United States.

The web address shows: Joseph Herlzog, "United States 1950 Census" • FamilySearch

the source citation shows: "United States 1950 Census", database, FamilySearch (https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:6XLH-NN78 : Sun Sep 24 12:57:44 UTC 2023), Entry for Theresa A Hulzey and Harold J Fleck, 14 April 1950.

the 2 do not match up.

Joseph and Theresa HERZOG or HERTZOG have 6 children:

  1. Alberta, born Jun 1929
  2. Henry J., born Jun 1931
  3. Roman, born Feb 1934
  4. Mary Ann, born Feb 1939
  5. Agnes M., born Mar 1943
  6. Theresia A., born May 1948

None of the web addresses matches the Source citation.

Is there a way to fix this?

Sincerely,

Anja Steltenpohl

    You don't have to do anything. The website gives you the information.

    Each person in the household has a separate URL. Joseph is https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:6XLH-NN7W. Theresa is https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:6XLH-NN74.

    If you use the Source Linker, it will line each person in the household up and allow you to connect the specific URL to each person.

    Thanks!

    This will require a day at home alone (peace and quiet), so I get the ID numbers right.

    Sincerely,

    There is clearly an error in the auto-generated citation: it gives the URL and names for a different entry than what you're actually trying to cite. Luckily, Source Linker doesn't use that auto-citation -- and you don't need to, either. (If those auto-citations were to disappear entirely one day, I think it'd take me several weeks to notice.)
