In searching for marriages for people in Howard county, Missouri. I found out why nothing showed up. The following heading is clear for Missouri Marriages:

Missouri, County Marriage... Court Records, 1800-1991 Howard Marriage records 1903-1919 vol 5-7

However, it is indexed as Howard, Queensland, Australia.

    Thank you for reporting this. Those records are actually for Howard County, Missouri. It is a computer error. We will need to send this to another department for correction. You should be hearing something from them. 


    It will probably take a while to get it fixed. In the meantime, you can edit the place on any records that you attach to your family. This article from our Help Center tells you how: How do I fix indexing or transcription errors in historical records?  You can also edit the place when using the source linker.

    @FrancesPrice1 The best way to report errors in the indexed information is right on the record details page where you see the error. On the right side of the page, find and click Feedback. Then, click Specific feedback. Highlight the marriage place and add your comments. This gets the info to the folks who can fix it.
