I'd like to report an indexing error on the 1920 Iowa United States Census.

Page 136 and page 137 are identical and has messed up relationships for the 2 households at the top and bottom of the page.

bottom of Page 135 lists household #48 with Jowel O'Haver as head

top of Page 136 lists his wife and 8 children

at the bottom of page 136 Household #60 lists James Shields, a 69 year old widower as head of household and because of the duplication, Mabel O'Haver is idexed as his wife and the 8 kids are his, in addition to the people that are actually in his household listed on the bottom of page 136 and continue on page 138.
