I have viewed the micro film on birth of Myrte May Baum,film #004017337 of Ohio Wyandot County and
it clearly shows the spelling of the mother to be Ella J. Hershberger. Please correct your
records.

FYI
Welcome to the "Community.FamilySearch" Forum, with what appears to be your first post.
I am just another 'lowly' User/Patron ...
Just in passing ...
'FamilySearch' has a Number of "Parts" ...
And, we understand the reference to "Image Group Number (DGS)" 004017337
https://www.familysearch.org/search/catalog/259131?availability=Family%20History%20Library
But ...
That Said ...
Just to be clear; and, for clarification ...
Question: In what "Part", of 'FamilySearch', are you referring?
[ eg. An individual/person; or, the "Index" of a (that) particular Record ... ]
▬ the "Family Tree" Part; or,
▬ the "Search" (Records) Part; or,
▬ the "Genealogies" Part; or,
▬ the "Discovery Pages", of "Ancestors,FamilySearch" [ .org ]
▬ Elsewhere in 'FamilySearch'
Please advise.
eg.
▬ "Family Tree" = 'FamilySearch Person Identifier" (PID)
▬ "Search" (Records) = URL of Record/Source
▬ "Genealogies" = URL of the Reference
▬ "Discovery Pages", of "Ancestors,FamilySearch" [ .org ] = URL of the Reference
Knowing such, would enable us to better help/assist.
Just my thoughts.

The microfilm was correct but the information shown on family search was typed incorrectly. the mother's name is Ella J. Hershberger and family search shows Ella J. Hersaberger.

Right ...
So, it is the "Transcription", in the "Index", of the Record, on the Microfilm, that is incorrect ...
Is that the case?
Some "Indexes" can be "Edited" (ie, "Corrected"), by us Users/Patrons.
Whereas, some "Indexes" CANNOT be "Edited", by us Users/Patrons.
So ...
That Said ...
I just too a 'look' ...
There are TWO (x2) "Indexes", in that particular Film, for Myrte May BAUM
[ Which have ALREADY been attached to Myrte May BAUM ... ( 9MKM-J5D )
[ 1 ] One, With an (READILY) associated "Image"; which, appears to be correct ...
........ Where the "Index" CAN be "Edited" (ie, "Corrected"), by us Users/Patrons - if need be
Index

https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:33SQ-GRYW-S6ZP?i=13
and
[ 2 ] Another, With an associated "Image", that we must search for; so as, to ascertain correctness ...
........ BUT, where the "Index" CANNOT be "Edited" (ie. "Corrected"), by us Users/Patrons
Index

One NEEDS to search for such
Now ...
That Said ...
Getting, a "Transcription", of a "Name", corrected, by the "System", does not often happen.
So ...
IF, you are referring that SECOND Reference; THEN, the best course, of action, would be, to make a "Note", of the Correct "Spelling" of the Mother's "Name", in the "Title" and "Body" lie. (1) "Describe the Record (Notes)"; and, (2) "Reason to Change Source" ] of that "Source", rather than "Trying" to get such corrected, through, the "System".
I do such, all the time ...
[ Best; easiest; and quickest, way ... ]
Just my thoughts.
Brett
ps: The "Index" still DID its job, the "Records" (ie. "Sources"), where found; and, are attached ...

I believe the microfilm has the CORRECT SPELLING. The incorrect spelling is with Family Search.

You may, certainly, be correct ...
As, I did not go searching, for the associated "Image", on:
The "Source" in 'FamilySearch':
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:XX73-3BY
But ...
That Said ...
It makes NO difference ...
As, I advised in my previous 'Comment' ...
▬ Currently, it CANNOT be "Edited" (ie. "Corrected"), by us Users/Patrons ...
and ...
▬ Getting, such a "Transcription", of a "Name", corrected, by the "System", does not often happen ...
As such ...
I would seriously recommend, that the best course, of action, would be, to make a "Note", of the Correct "Spelling" of the Mother's "Name", in the "Title" and "Body" lie. (1) "Describe the Record (Notes)"; and, (2) "Reason to Change Source" ] of that "Source", rather than "Trying" to get such corrected, through, the "System".
I do such, all the time ...
[ Best; easiest; and quickest, way ... ]
Just my thoughts.
Brett
ps: REGARDLESS, the "Index", still DID its job, the "Records" (ie. "Sources"), where found; and, are attached ...
pps: And, here are some "knowledge Articles", in 'FamilySearch':
How do I correct indexing errors in historical records?
Why can't I fix indexing or transcription errors?
How do I edit or delete a correction that I made to an indexed historical record?
How do I edit data that was indexed by the computer?
How do I add or remove data fields on a record indexed by a computer?
And ...
How do I edit a source in Family Tree?
https://www.familysearch.org/en/help/helpcenter/article/how-do-i-edit-a-source-in-family-tree
I hope, that these may also help/assist, somewhat.
