How do I attach a correction to someone else's entry?

Is the "Document", a 'Legal' one; or, just a "Story" (eg. 'Word') one, added by another User/Patron?

.

If the latter, you could 'Message' the User/Patron who uploaded the "Story" (eg. 'Word') one; and, discuss with them the situation - they may want or be willing to "Change" it.

.

Whereas, with the former, you cannot (so easily) "Change" a 'Legal' one.

.

Just a thought.

. . . but a comment can be added to any document in the Memories section clarifying the discrepancy. (not in the document itself)

but you can add a comment (note) to any memories item - clarifying what you think may be in error. (in the comment section on underneath the item)

What do you mean by ... "How do I attach a correction to someone else's entry?

.

What needs attaching?

What needs correcting?

.

Can you be more specific - more details.

It is a written interview with a deceased family member. They have an incorrect birthdate, by about 6 months, which may change the storyline. It is an image of this document. Is there a place I can leave a note to correct this? I can supply proof.​

So you are talking about "Correcting" something that is in a "Document" that is in the "Memories" of an individual/person; not, so much, correcting the "Vitals" of an individual/person, is that correct?

Yes, the only document I have found indicating this "adoption". But they have her dob incorrect. Maybe for this it makes no difference?​

You 'jumped the gun' ...

I was working through a process ...

She is deceased, and most of her family members are also deceased. When I add this to my tree, I will attach a note somewhere indicating the correct info. thanks, new to this site and it has been so helpful already. We finally have the story! Bless you!
