Incorrect Registered Index in the Cook Island's Public Records.
Hey All,
Just needing to find out how do I go about getting an index corrected.
This index is meant to be a birth index but it is showing up as a marriage index.
"Cook Islands, Public Records, 1846-1989", database with images, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:QLK4-SK3B : 6 December 2019), Are Tepaki, .
Do I need to report this somewhere else and if so can someone direct me please.
Thank you.

Is the event also showing as having taken place in the correct location? At present, it shows as " Cook Island, South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands" - is that correct? If not, at least you can edit that part yourself.
With regards to the type of event (birth, not marriage) I believe this can only be changed by FamilySearch. I do not think you can go further than in reporting the matter here, and hope a moderator can add this to a very long list of such errors.
Whether "re-indexed" by a human or computer, there are many events that have been changed, so they now show erroneous information. I believe FamilySearch employees have acknowledged there needs to be a complete reassessment of the current process, which has led to a huge amount of such errors.

It is exactly as you said. It is not the place. It is the type of event it is.
Thank you for your reply. Guess I will wait and work on it at another time.
