I was attaching a record that showed a male child named "Lucinda " and supposed parents to Ella Burton and John Vollette. There isn't a male child named Lucinda. The other record is the death a young mother named Lucinda Brown who was 33 years of age. Ella Burton is the young woman that died in the first record and had a still born male child. There is no way to correct this indexing error with the edit feature.

    I had the same happen with a census record and it looked like my grandfather was married to my grandma and the next door neighbor. Someone did add her in as a second spouse. Since the census couldn't be corrected, I corrected the tree and made a note of why I knew this not to be the case. I think that someday we will be able to make these edits. So, when that day comes, it can be corrected.
