The first thing I would do is submit a correction on the image page at Ancestry
so that Magyari also show as an alternate name in the Ancestry Index. I've
submitted several and they seem to get them entered pretty quickly.

Subject: [LegacyUG] Alternate Names Ancestry.com and US Census
While searching for my Grandfather 1920 Census via ancestry.com
ancestry had my grandfather's surname indexed Mazzari, with a Yellow
triangle next to it indicating other possible names Maggard
When I look at the original it is correctly spelled
Magyari
Since the original image has it spelled correctly, but a search via
ancestry,com has it indexed via Mazzari and Maggard (index does NOT have
Magyari) which are incorrect transcriptions, but in ancestry's index.
1) How would you place this info in Legacy, so others could potential
find in future?
a) AKAs Mazzari and Maggard ??????????
b) just in notes?????????
2) I run into a similar issue with the 1910 Census
here the index has it written incorrectly
Magdyar
I would assume here I really would use a AKA, correct???
thanks,
jdm
