Judy, we believe we have found the problem with these data collections and hope to have it fixed by tomorrow.

The issues with the 1850, 1860, and 1871 data collections have been fixed.

Links to 1850 and 1860 census enumerations now SEEM to be working correctly, on the 4 I just checked.

The problems include:

a) Wrong Ancestry.com extract is linked to a Census result for a given person in a household. The wrong link is from both a search result (whether directly in database or from a Tree) and from the link to an already-linked US Census item in individual Tree Overview pages (both in right sidebar list of citations and in the source-citation list);

b) The Ancestry.com extract shows a person at the top who is not in the household listed at the bottom;

c) The location given with the person at the top does not go with the household members listed at the bottom of the extract;

d) The link to actual record ~image~ in the extract page goes with the person listed at the top of the page, not with the folks in the houshold listed at the bottom of the extract (“record”).

It’s a kind of daisy chain of coding errors.

I first encountered this problem late Sunday afternoon. I’m very disappointed that it has taken nearly a full day for the problem to be acknowledged.

Hopefully Anne you have inadvertently forgot to include the issues with the indexing of the

London, England, Deaths and Burials, 1813-1980
and
London, England, Births and Baptisms, 1813-1906

records that i personally emailed you about!
