How do I correct misspellings?
My family name is spelled correctly in the census record but somehow it was changed when added to FamilySearch. How can this be corrected? My family is huge so this affects a great many of us.

Good morning. If the name is misspelled in the FamilySearch Family Tree, you can correct it. The Tree is fully open-edit and collaborative. Anyone can edit, correct, connect, or detach profiles within the tree.
If you are on the Profile Detail page, you will see a small pencil icon on every field that can be edited.
IF you are referring to the index of that census record, then that's not the tree, but a record that can also be edited. Unfortunately, that index edit function is not working very well at the moment. I would recommend waiting to make that kind of edit.
