@SerraNola Please

Collection https://www.familysearch.org/search/collection/2968245 United States, Veterans Administration Master Index, 1917-1940

Specific example: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:QPZW-ZPM1 for Lucius Lamar Burgess

Lucius gave the name of his relative, Mr S Ruffin, as his contact. On this record from Georgia, the surname Ruffin has been transformed into a place in South Carolina. I've edited the place to verify that I could, but I took a screenshot before I edited.

Thanks for reviewing.

    @Áine Ní Donnghaile Thanks, and got it. Because most of the records in this collection don't show a relative, it may not have impacted too many. This is one that's hard to find search criteria to reveal the errors.

    Thanks, @SerraNola. This one is relatively close family, so I recognized what must have happened even before I opened it to view.
