This sheet doesn't properly distinguish between the heads of families. As a result, Source Linker attempts to find relationships where the only connection is one of neighbors. How can this be resolved? I have run across this issue on many other 1950 Census documents.

    The 1950 US Census was originally indexed by computer handwriting recognition. Many - most - relationships had to be corrected/connected by human review.

    You can make the edits/connections by selecting the pencil next to Relationships.

    @AlainaCallahan I went ahead and separated out the Erwin Taylor family, but these articles might be helpful for you to learn the process:
