Person missed in Census Index
I found a census page that has been indexed but one line/person was missed. How can that person be added to the existing index? ( The enumerator wrote "Here ends Block 23" at the beginning of the line 11, and that appears to have caused the indexer to ignore the rest of the line.)

From previous reports and experience I would say it is extremely unlikely this will be remedied.
The only way I can see Marie Germer being included in future is if the whole collection is re-indexed - perhaps if a substantial number of errors are discovered in the current one.
Many of us have encountered similar problems and the responses given here have not been positive, I'm afraid.

Unfortunately, the index correction function on FamilySearch can neither remove nor add fields or entries. I have no idea whether there are any plans to change this fact.
Fortunately, the index does have the person's spouse, and the images are fully accessible, so a reasonably-determined researcher should be able to find her, and can cite the image directly instead of attaching the index.
Aw, the heck with it. The hinting system came right up with Henry Leonard, so I went ahead and attached the source citations to both him and his wife.
