Finding out more about a Volunteer Project?

John Shipp LCXJ-89C. As a "Volunteer Project" in April 2021, under Other Information, a custom event was entered: Deed Book, 8 May 1849, Huntersville, Springcreek, Miami, Ohio.

I have been through the indexes and through the Deed Books covering 1849 twice now and cannot find this entry. Is there any possible way to find what the Volunteer Project was working on and maybe get a little better information?

    FYI

    I am just another 'lowly' User/Patron ...

    In relation to:

    John SHIPP ... ( LCXJ-89C )

    As you will be aware, that reference to the "Deed Books", relates to those THREE (x3) "Sources", that you attached yesterday and today.

    Now ...

    That Said ...

    From the "ChangeLog" ...

    https://www.familysearch.org/tree/person/changelog/LCXJ-89C

    The ORIGINAL reference to "Deed Books", was pre.2012 from "New.FamilySearch", the forerunner to, "Family Tree", 'Dated' "2 June 2012", in the "Other Information" Section; as, a "'Custom Event': "Deed Book; 8 May 1849; Huntersville, Miami, Ohio", which may have ALSO been referenced in your "Contact Name".

    It is most likely that, the 'Place' for that aforementioned "Custom Event", was NOT recognised as a "Standard", after some update/release, in the "System"; and, as such, subsequently, evoked a "Data Error" [ ie. 'Red' "Exclamation Mark" ].

    Subsequently, the "System", sent that aforementioned "Custom Event", to one to the "Tools"; whereby, "Volunteers" make an effort to "Standardise" a 'Place Name'. That was done on "22 April 2021" this year.

    You, subsequently, "Changed" that "Custom Event" to "Deed Book; 8 May 1849; Huntersville, Springcreek Township, Miami, Ohio, United States"; and, you later "Changed" that by ADDING a 'Description' of "I cannot find the deed this refers to.".

    Therefore ...

    The "Volunteer Project" was NOT using ANY "Record".

    The "Volunteer Project" was SIMPLY "Standardising" the 'Place Name' for the aforementioned "Custom Event".

    I hope this makes, sense; and, helps, somewhat.
