How do I correct a misspelled name? It isn't even close to my great great Grandmother's last name. Her name was McKeon and It is wrong on the page.

The record should be indexed as written. If the name is written incorrectly by the enumerator, it should stay that way.
When you attach the record to a profile the correction can be made in the profile source list. But I urge caution: I have encountered many spelling corrections that are incorrect; a prior contributor got confused and conflated unrelated families, munging all their names to fit.
