Corrections on Ancestry

When a name is indexed incorrectly, Ancestry has a mechanism for you to correct that name. Please email me by the end of the day on Monday, to let me know if you do this. We are trying to figure out if a lot of the names we've worked on have been corrected.

Additionally, per Noelle, please stop correcting names on Ancestry. We're trying to speed things up, and this slows us down. Also, we are working on some name matching algorithms, and we are concerned that these name corrections will interfere with the name matching tests we are doing. Please don't ask me to explain that, because I really don't understand.
