I was doing some hints for my ancestors and one came up for Ernest George Humphrey KZTN-9Z4, however, I haven't attached it yet as the name has been indexed incorrectly. I have added the headstone to his memories. His name has been indexed as Ernest George Ford instead of Ernest George Humphrey. Can it be changed, Thanks, Jean Lewis

    @JFLewis The name cannot be edited on FamilySearch as the error is coming from a third party. You might be able to request Find A Grave make the change. In any case, sources with indexing errors should still be attached with a statement about the error. Indexing is just a finding aid. The source is the cemetery record and headstone.
