How do I report a misindexed record? The only edit allowed is for the person's name. The record in question combines two families, the Hepburns and the Saunders, but on the original document they are clearly at different addresses.

Here is the record id:

"Florida State Census, 1935," database with images, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:MNJG-6NL : 2 February 2018), Horace Hepburn, Miami, Dade, Florida; citing line 40, State Archives, Tallahassee; FHL microfilm 2,425,151.

    You probably need to use Contact Us (under the Question Mark on your main page) to send a message by choosing Family Tree from the Category drop-down menu. Here is link to a knowledge article about reporting multiple errors in a collection. At the bottom of the article, it seems to suggest that someday we will be able to correct more single errors on records. But, for now, it might be worth a try to see if they can help with correcting this problem.

    'Yes'.

    You are correct, two (x2) separate Families, from different Homes (addresses), joined as one Household.

    ps: I am "Tagging" this post of yours in the 'Group' known as "Indexing Chat"; as, the experts there may have some advice; or, in the least, the 'power' to pass on this obvious error for rectification.
