I am checking to find a way to correct the transcription for Herman Lee Baughman. He married Ida E. Bush on 20 Oct 1913 in Licking county Ohio. They have listed his birthday in the transcription As November 1928, It should be November 28,1894, this is his birth date. The record reads as if he got married 12 years before he was born.

    Patty, can you give us a link to the record that you are concerned about? Is the problem in the record itself or in the indexing of the record? It is possible to make corrections of some errors that were made during indexing but we would need to see the actual record to give you a more exact answer.

    When you are on the record itself, copy the information in the search bar and past it in a comment here.

    I could not find the record to which you refer. I looked at Herman's record in Family Tree and everything looks okay there - including the source attached for his 28 November 1894 birth. The only sources I found for a 1928 birth related to Herman DEAN Baughman.

    If you could be more specific about the source / record that you say incorrectly shows the November 1928 birth, someone should be able to advise you whether or not you can edit this.

    The record is his marriage record. Herman Lee Baughman married Ida E Bush on 20 Oct 1913. There are 2 records and both have incorrect dates. I later found the Marriage record of my grandparents, Dallas A Baughman and Aubrey Grace Wise. All is correct but the birth dates. I added them to my tree. Grace has been dead since 1962 but her birth on the record, if I remember right was 2006. It would be nice if there were a link or some way to report the bad info and attach it directly to the record in question.
