In some cases you may be correct, However, see
http://englishplus.com/grammar/00000132.htm
example
To make a *plural* noun *possessive,* simply add an *apostrophe* to the
word. If the plural does not end in an *s,* then add an apostrophe plus
*s. *
Examples: The girls' dresses
(The dresses belonging to the girls.)
The Wilsons' house
(The Wilsons live in the house.)
The men's room
(Plural does not end in *s.*)
