1950 Census Error message transcribing names

Wendy Diedrich Apr 7, 2022 12:54 PM

I am unable to transcribe the names of family members in the 1950 Census. I have successfully transcribed the names on one side of my family but I am unable to add the names on the other side. I get the error message: "Please try again. You've used a word or phrase that isn't allowed."

The name is Howard T. Angell. I tried to transcribe the rest of the family members and received the same error message. It must be the last name "Angell" as that is the only thing in common to all of them.

The page can be found by searching, Minnesoa, St. Louis county, ED - 69-100 Angell, Howard. I've attached a screenshot of the error.

Dear Wendy,
Thank you for your work transcribing the 1950 Census. We are sorry you experienced this error, and we have reported it to our developers to investigate. It is possible that it was a temporary glitch within the system when you submitted this transcription. Would you mind trying to transcribe this same name again to see if you are able to successfully submit the transcription? If you notice this issue again, it may help to refresh or reload the page before attempting to submit the transcription again. Thank you for your patience.

  Thank you! I refreshed with a new browser window and tried again. This time I was able to successfully enter the entire family! Thanks for the help!
