You can post alternate spellings on Ancestry. Look around the page and
you'll see the box to submit your informed transcription of the name. It's
easy, and will help others.

Also, Ancestry has a new video tutorial on the features of their new search.
It is an eye-opener, as I had heard many negative comments. There are some
great new features.

John Magyari, yes use an AKA. You should also evaluate the source. If ist
is not reliable and/or you know it to be wrong say so, but document it.

In this situation (which I run across pretty often) I don't use AKA because
the person didn't really go by that name (the actual record shows the
correct spelling), it was just indexed wrong by Ancestry.com. I submit a
correction to Ancestry so it can be found under the correct spelling in the
image with the
correct name.

John,
To my mind it is not an AKA but a transcription error (not unusual for
Ancestry, or other sites for the matter). I add a note to say Incorrectly

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.

As others have said, you can submit a correction to Ancestry. I have done so
many times. The indexers did the best they could. Some were better at the
job than others. As to you your question, if your source citations gives the
correct location of the census page, how Ancestry has it indexed
