Person recorded in two different places in the same census year.
Well, here's a dilly of an issue. And I am sure it is a rare issue.
In 1940, Ethel Mae Bush (Ethel Mae Jones, 9H6L-FRX) was recorded in two different states on the U.S. Census. She and her sister wintered in Florida. But both lived "permanently" in Ohio.
1) She is recorded in Fort Myers, Lee County, Florida, with her elder sister speaking to the enumerator. The form has no date.
2) She is recorded from her permanent residence, in Marion, Ohio, on 5 April 1940, when her daughter-in-law Velma provides her name to the enumerator.
Technically, it's wrong to be counted twice, but it happened, and that is a fact. Both are attached to her profile, and both contain notes, and both sources are attached.
The problem is that the system won't allow me to dismiss the message that "This person has multiple sources attached from the same census year and is most likely incorrect."United States, Census, 1940."
The system message is "Something went wrong…"
I should be able to dismiss this with a note explaining what happened. But the system won't allow it.

@monnettohio You are correct the 'more than one census' situation is rare. We will try the dismiss issue in a bit.
update: a ticket has been created to address the dismiss issue. Thank you for the heads up :)
