Hal Hutchens said: The indexing of documents in Family Search contains a lot of errors. In order for Family Search to be an ACCURATE usable resource for family history research, the indexed information must be as accurate as possible. A link needs to be provided on the indexed transcription of the document so the patron user can submit corrections that need to be made.

    I don't know where to begin. What I can tell you is that there are 2 "Bowen" families that are getting mixed up. How can I correct that ?

    This Charles is my great grandfather.

    Charles Byron Bowen (birth) May 14, 1870 Coventry Rhode Island (death) February 16, 1955 Spencer, MA

    Married to Louella E. Prince on July 14, 1892

    Charles father is Edmund Herbert Bowen, mother is Abby Adelaide Phillips, brother Gilbert Bowen and Roland Bowen and sister is Bertha Hayes Bowen.

    He is getting mixed up in records (even his headstone on Find-A-Grave) with another Charles Bowen that is married to Minnie May Allwood in Rhode Island.

    How can all of this be corrected?

    My name is Marilyn Gaudette

    Fascinated as to how you even found the post in question: it was written a year ago, yet you picked-up as needing editing / moderating!
