    Hi @PeteBalcom

    The 1915 New York State census is an index-only collection on FamilySearch. With an index-only collection, we cannot edit the index because it would be impossible to verify if the error is in the index or in the original enumeration.

    The images are hosted on Ancestry, and the index was provided by Ancestry.

    Birth Year abt 1907[abt 1907]
    Birth Place United States
    Age 8
    Gender Male

    Color or Race White
    Number of years in US 8

    The image is a little blurry, and I can understand how the error might have occurred.
