1950 Census pages not indexed.
I have come across multiple instances where complete pages of the 1950 Census have not been indexed and because of that they cannot be edited to add names. Is there any way familysearch can allow for editing or reporting the pages so they can be indexed? I hate knowing people can't find their relatives because of a computer error.

@SerraNola are 1950 Census gaps like these on your remediation list please?

@JHornberger4 @MandyShaw1 Yes, missing indexing in the 1950 Census has been an on-going problem and not usually connected with user-editing. It is definitely on the list!

Meanwhile, the 1950 US Census can be found at https://1950census.archives.gov/

I too have discovered a problem with indexed information on the 1950Census
Citation:
"United States, Census, 1950", FamilySearch (https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:6F7J-1MLL : Tue Mar 18 06:36:09 UTC 2025), Entry for Charlie Holloway and Hullit Holloway, April 10, 1950.
The actual Location is this:
Event Place (Original)
Beat 21, Callnan, Alabama
Enumeration District
22-46
Line Number
1
Page Number
10
The problem is this erroneous information above it:Event Place
Alabama Township, Nevada, Arkansas, United States
Alabama, Genesee, New York, United StatesAlabama, Polk, Wisconsin, United StatesAlabama, Elko, Nevada, United States
Was this an edit of some typo?
Thanks for the help.0 -
@Eugene Breindel That is a place standardization issue. You'll find many threads on the subject over the last couple of years. It's an issue that crept in during the migration of records from one system to another. There's a good description in this comment from SerraNola:
