To bring to your attention an indexed record with errors. This record only indexes Nelson Terrell once. The guest went to David Terrell and seven lines up he found that only one Nelson Terrell was indexed. There are two Nelson Terrells on the record.

Also there is a woman named Ann B Chapman who is in the index as William Ann B Chapman.

We are hoping you can please make these corrections.

Thank you, Cheryl Gerstner

    Those Bureau of Land Management tract book indexes are user-correctable: just click the "Edit" button in the middle of the top black strip on the index detail page (such as https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:6K65-4BFH).

    They still use the old index-editing process, which means that omissions cannot be remedied -- but keep in mind that the index isn't the record. The index is merely a finding aid for the record, and it will serve that purpose for both Nelson Terrells with the one index entry.
