There are some places on Ancestry that let you post a correction and give a reason. I usually correct the spelling if the census has it one way and the transcription has it another. That way the correct spelling will come up in the search engine as well and people will find it. Sometimes the census person must have just written the name without worrying about the correct spelling. Not much you can do about an original document with spelling variations!
Just replying to use my Sadie picture I mentioned. On her throne (pink and blue area rug, sleeping bag folded over in thirds, giant striped beach towel, pink plaid material I bought, pastel plaid baby blanket). Christmas late 1990s. Her ornaments (dogs) are all hanging on the bottom branches. This comment is genealogy related because she was my puppy daughter.
