We all share an active interest in using the resources of this site and as users, we have various levels of knowledge and experience and do our best to help each other with concerns, issues, and/or questions.

    This is often a problem with census records. The family involved breaks across two census pages. The pages are indexed separately and while some are caught, this one was not.

    Once an index is published, there is no way, short of pulling the entire index back and reindexing the original documents, of adding the information that falls on the subsequent page.

    The means to add to an index is something that has yet to be provided to us as users, but I believe that it is planned, if I remember the FamilySearch responses to similar issues (missing information) with other indexes.

    What needs to happen is that the second page needs to be added as a source for the Sam Wrubleski family for each member of that family (the first page, in the case of the four children).
