Incorrect Census transcriptions on Ancestry

[forthefamily]

Well I sometimes have to shake my head and wonder why  I sent in a request for a "correction" of a LAST NAME and they did the first name. So now it's a double whammy.....aaaarrrrgggghhhh.

I found a good one yesterday......Sister Colester.......it should be Silvester

Am I very wicked and irresponsible?

Yes

Am I very wicked and irresponsible?

Yes 

 

But I'm useful - especially when you have techie problems, Barbara

Best we take good care not to upset you, then - 

Of course you're not wicked or irresponsible!

Hi Cousin Gadget , my  Welsh side of my family have been difficult to trace, and it took me forever to work out which  Evans and Davies's were mine , and I hope to drag it a few more rellie's by making a little easier for them

Mum 44, thanks for that , wish I could make all my Triangles in to blue blobs if that's the case

Regards Ambers

Amber - well, quite often if you look at the "lead" member of the family, they will have a blue blob - not every time, I admit, but a good percentage.  Not always the father - I expect it depends on which family member the alterer (?!?) was interested in or made the original alteration on.

(is there a correct noun for the "person who made the alteration" ?  Alterer is logical but it certainly doesn't look right! )

This topic seems to have run its course, so I will lock it now (20 page rule)
