Consistent With Sources - Census Alignment Question
Although it is possible that early on (2013-ish) I connected Census records to the incorrect persons (mis-aligned a line off or something) but that seems like a hard thing to do, especially on multiple records.
It is VERY GOOD to have this called-out, but I am wondering if there is some glitch which could have occurred (maybe long ago) to make this happen with Census information in particular.
It can be a user-error, but I have been doing this a long time and I find it hard to believe I would have mis-aligned several census records in a two-day period for a multiple persons.
Don't mis-understand...I do appreciate the Quality check identifying it. I never would have noticed otherwise. Two FSPIDs below are: MCY6-SMM and KGPM-592. I'm just trying to get a read on if there was maybe some systemic issue or if it was user error.

In continuing to look at these problems I am still trying to trace them. For MCY6-SMM and the 1910 census it does appear that FS has been somehow updating these records in 2017 (although I am not certain what they changed) ....I can't say that is the problem, but it does bear further investigation.

***** If this is the case (that there was some process in FS which created the problem), then this is NOT an issue with the QUALITY ranking and perhaps this discussion under Quality Check should conclude. Please comment. *******

Tom,
I don't have all the answers here, but I do know that in the early days of attaching sources FamilySearch did not give clear direction about which sources should be attached to a person. (Sometimes it was encouraged just to attach the head of household, etc...)
I hope that helps.
