The problem is that there is a repetitive mistake in records that have no capability of being changed. I have asked at the desk in Salt Lake how to correct massive errors on an entire family that is listed in the IGI. Not possible. So anyone tracing the family will be looking for records in "MD" [Maryland], when it should be MO [Missouri], or worse yet repeating the bad information. Stubby fingers entering data should be correctable...as well as the middle name of my grandmother.
