How do I report spelling mistake on Ancestry. I have found my family with surname misspell.

Surname spellings are very variable. If it is an old record then it could be a variant.

Its not just old records that have errors. The records of my brother's wedding spell his surname incorrectly and this only goes back to 1970 so beware!!
