I have a Swedish Household census page for my ancestors. I don't know how to attach the citation - i
Great-grandfather Christian Jonasson, wife and the sons that are known to us. We have no knowledge of a daughter in this generation. Is Alida Marie something else? The family emigrated to Wisconsin in 1891; she is there born 1892 - can this be right? No record of her in America.
Appreciate any insights. thank you

Alida Maria b.31 Jan 1892 is not a child of Christian Jonasson. She is the daughter of Olof Gustaf Höglund and Märta Sofia Augusta Werner.
Here is the link to the birth record: https://sok.riksarkivet.se/bildvisning/A0002404_00080
Olof Gustaf Höglund married after Christian Jonasson moved to America with his family and there was so little space to write his wife's and child's name under his name, so Alida Maria's name was written between Christian Jonasson and Anna Jakobsdotter.

Thank you! Can the indexing be edited to put her in the right family?
I am trying to put their records in order. There are four duplicates of Hoglund/Werner. One of their sons is in the tree as Ernst Hilding Hoglund. Should their children be Hoglunds or Olofssons? Were families beginning to use fixed surnames at this time?
Another question: most of my sources are these household examination books. The record is collectively named "Swedish HH Exam 1863-1880" or 1880-1930, etc. When viewed in the person's timeline, all events are dated 1863. Is there a fix for this?

Your welcome. It is not yet possible to correct indexing errors of relationship. When it shows
Unfinished Attachments in some person's sources and you know that you have already attached everyone that belong your family, you can dismiss the others and explain why they don't belong to your family.
If the father had surname at the time when child was born, then use that surname also with the children. If father had only patronymic then use the correct patronymic with the children (father's name +s (genetive, if the name doesn't end with s) + son/dotter or mother's if she was unmarried).
Also add to the Other Information section the other name. e.g.
Vitals: Ernst Hilding Höglund
Other: Ernst Hilding Olofsson
If you are using only patronymic, then add it to the Surname field.
You can edit those household examination book sources. You can edit Event date and Source title to be more specific and you can Describe the Record (Notes). When you edit event date it will show the edited year in the timeline.
