So this was misindexed: William C, S Terry, and Thomas R were all on one line for source linker. I went into it and used the edit features (it gives you a box that says they are using two systems at once while they update to the newer one—so it should have given me a clue not to use it).

I had to delete S Terry. and Thomas R so they wouldn't all link to William. However when trying to re-add them it is a bit of a mess. Only William & Frances Loretta show up on the Record page, index.

Because one of the sons is named after the deceased, the father, it now has the deceased as a child of himself as "other" added to the record. I have NO idea how to fix this & NO desire to bang my head against the wall trying again.

However, Loretta (Frances Loretta) passed away yesterday and I really wanted to have her family sources all attached for the family (we're family but not by blood). If anyone can help with this—anyone who knows what they're doing it will only take them 10 min to fix. I just can't and it makes me a little sad and frustrated.

Thank you!

    There are two notices for Mr. Young. One is a death notice and one is an obituary. I didn't notice that at first and though the record posted above was the large, more noticeable obituary and did a bunch of corrections based on the obituary. The index was missing a couple of people that I had to add. Please look it over and let me know if you see any problems.

    I'll go in and fix the other index entry and base it on the smaller death notice later this morning.

    I've fixed the index for the death notice: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:Q53V-6LZN?lang=en

    I see there is a third obituary here: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:Q53V-RKTT?lang=en that also needs editing so I'll do that next.

    The third one is fixed. It was from the June 23 newspaper while the first two were from June 24. Please review all three and let me know if there are still any problems and I'll try again.
