They transcribed all the children with the mothers last name instead of the fathers. All of them should be Sjögren not Pettersson. Is that something I can fix or do you need to?

    Hello @Victoria Johnson_6

    Assuming this is the right record https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:QGR3-2N4T?lang=en (please provide the URL another time) the answer for this collection would appear to be that you can edit it yourself.

    Click through into the image, click the right arrow on Elin Maria on the Indexed Data list (right hand side of the screen), then click the pencil icon against what you want to edit.

    Any further problems, just post again, hope it all works OK for you.

    @Victoria Johnson_6 Yes, these records can be edited, but most all of the children have been indexed correctly with no surname so there is nothing to edit. The system is adding the mother's surname as you are seeing in Record Hints. Engineers are well aware and have been working to get this corrected.
