Create an option to “flag for review”

I have come across a person who has been listed as being in a census record in 1911. I have reviewed the original image of the census data (and surrounding records) and ascertained that this person did not exist on the census. The person who did exist is listed already. Could there possibly be a “flag for review” option somehow- perhaps with a drop down list of “reasons for review” as I believe that the person created in the system years ago, should actually be deleted and the listing on the census record removed.

The ID of this person is: GNGQ-BK1


Thanks,

Mellissa.

    I looks like it should be for Eva Olive Prescott Day GPZF-LDW. So you can just merge GNGQ-BK1 into the record for Eva. Then you'll have the census attached to her and you can make a note that the transcription is incorrect - that the record belongs to Eva Olive Prescott Day and that the record clearly shows the name is Eva Olive, but was transcribed incorrectly as Emaline.
