Something wrong with this record, removing family members in preview on census

But if you look at the preview of the record, it only shows himself in it, and not family members.

Curious, I went to look further at this image, and I see the other members placed in the family on the census, but there's a person injected in between them. Looking at the page, I find that the injected person belongs at the top of the page.

The record location is here:
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/619...

Is there someone who can look at this record?

Tom Huber said: Wow. The page index has a major problem in it that FamilySearch is going to have to straighten out. You are correct.

I have never seen that kind of problem in indexing before. Also, it is something that any user-correction could handle, since the problem is an issue in the order/sequence of index entries.

Hopefully, someone in FS will straighten out the index (which is likely going to be a task in itself) or see if there is some kind of glitch which is causing the problem.

I do not believe this is any kind of UI problem, but who knows? I'm running Chrome on Windows 10.

Jeff Wiseman said: I've seen things similar to this before. I'm pretty sure that the problem is in the index file itself. The "group" in the index file that contains all of the names at that residence has been broken by entries in the index file being scrambled around some. I've also seen it when the family group starts with some name in the family above it on the image, and then stops part way through the following family, causing most of the families to be split up and grouped with other partial families.

However, this screwiness doesn't seem to interfere much with anything. It just means that you have to do multiple searches in order to get each of the family member citations attached to their records in the tree via the source linker. You don't have the convenience of having them all in the source linker at the same time, and they don't all show up in a similar order in the image index data under the source image itself.

But once connected, it doesn't interfere with actually using the citation sources and attaching them to the proper person records in the tree.

There is a "residence grouping" structure in the index file that can be out of alignment with the image that it has been indexed from.

I wonder if this is another thing that could have been caused by FS tweaking index files after they get them...

Thanks
