It was added to Ancestry, today! .

It is free with a World Deluxe Membership, as I have and with Canada only memberships.

If you have Canadian family members and ancestors, have fun.

wonder if they have run all of it through the quality control check that was supposed to be done by FamilySearch.  I know of at least one major error in BAC-LAC version, New Orford was actually listed as New Oxford in the summaries.
i think the original information on BAC-LAC said FS would be double checking the transcriptions after Ancestry had digitised the records.
sounds about right, only with the volume of names in these, I wonder how far along they are truly.

No, M. Not fun. First, they left out two members of my grandparents' household, MY MOTHER and my great grandfather, (which are in the original text) then they wouldn't let me save the record to my Mom when I put it in individually. Little circle spins round and round. Don't know if they are overloaded or confused by "relationship to head-- daughter" if she's living alone.  One can hope others have better luck or Ancestry fixes the problem.

Usually you can add a comment on the record page, not the image, or you can edit the information on the image page.

Perhaps the site is very busy today or they are not completely finished with whatever may still need to be done.
I hope they sort it out, M.  They usually do.
very similar issues with my family, members missing from transcription, age 39 (very clear) transcribed as 3, wife below son, assumed to be wife of father-in-law.

no way to recommend changes, did put in comments
Yes, similar issue to you, S.  They made my great grandmother, age 81, age 20 and her 51 year old daughter, age 22.  They couldn't locate my father John R. Miller, clearly written.  Not a difficult name. I had to check 6 wards of the city to find him.  And they won't list him as living with his grandmother and aunt, perhaps because their name is Prichard, so change the surname and the system doesn't recognize it's the same household.  Deep sigh.
