OBITUARY INDEXING DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY

In the obituaries on Ancestry, I suggest you look at the actual obit, and not depend on the indexed version. My mother's obituary is in the United States Obituary Collection, Everything in the actual obituary is correct, but the indexed version is so messed up. She was born September 4, 1909; yet the index shows her birth date in April, 1909. Also, her husband's (my father) name is not mentioned in the obit, but the indexing picked up the word "husband" from the survivors which included me and my husband. So, they have my mother's husband's name as George, which is not correct. I supposed in the scanning, that is the first time the scanner found the word "husband." ANCESTRY NEEDS TO FIX THIS!
