Census title is incorrect
This is the 1915 New York State Census, but it is listed as the 1905 NY state census. I corrected the date within the record of my person, but I cannot correct the date on the title. This needs to be changed ASAP, hopefully.

If I recall correctly, this problem has been discussed before here in the Community. The databases for those NYS censuses are shared with Ancestry, and I believe the error existed in the Ancestry record set, which has the images. Ancestry may have corrected some of the mistakes on their side, but those corrections have not been brought over to FS.

@Ashlee C. as with the HyHeritage data quality problem discussed on another of today's threads, this needs escalating to whoever in FS is responsible for this Ancestry feed.

WilmethAnnCarol2 When I search for Helen Mylby it comes up correctly in the search results and the transcription as 1915. If I search just the 1915 Census, it also shows up correctly. The same record with the incorrect title of 1905 shows up only in the 1905 NY Census Record Collection. As stated in previous threads, the problem stems from both years (for the same location) being found on the same film, in this case, #4296258.. A ticket was created for the engineers, but apparently the issue is not yet completely resolved. I will follow up.

I need to correct what I just stated. I think because you edited the year, a search brings up only the correct record. When I search for others that have not been edited, they show up twice—1905 and 1915.
