What should I do if I find data that doesn't match the images that it's attached to?
My 4th Great Grandfather is on line 3 of this page of the 1850 Census. But as you can see, the data listed under it doesn't match up with the actual image. Is there a way to report this or start to correct it? Is there some way to see enough context about how this was transcribed/indexed to figure out what went wrong?
I found the index record that matches, but it links to a different image, and they didn't even attempt to transcribe some of the names.
Anscestry has a much better image for this page.

Sometimes I find the link is to the whole Microfilm and not the specific image you want. Maybe an error on the part of the person attaching the image, Not sure? Anyway, I just have to look through the images to get the specific document. Pam Whicker
