      To correct indexing errors see this Help Article:

      Correct indexing errors • FamilySearch

      https://www.familysearch.org/en/help/helpcenter/article/how-do-i-fix-indexing-or-transcription-errors-in-historical-records
      In many cases, you can correct indexing errors in historical records.

      To learn why some records cannot be fixed see this Help Article:

      Cannot correct transcription errors • FamilySearch

      https://www.familysearch.org/en/help/helpcenter/article/why-cant-i-fix-indexing-or-transcription-errors
      There are a few common reasons why you may not be able to correct a transcription error that you find.

      I hope this information helps you understand how to correct an indexing error and that not all records can be corrected.

      Have a great day😀
