i have recently found that the typed record is different to the original record...eg., my great grandfather lived with a family with the name Gildersleeve (shown on original record) however it was typed as Gilderstone and therefore i struggled for a while to find more info on the family...is there a way of correcting known mistakes or perhaps add a tag? |

it happens on Ancestry too - there is a comment facility on the transcribed summary of censuses and other records, and if you use that the amended spelling appears sooner rather than later |
