The following record: https://www.familysearch.org/indexing/batch/404d9b82-ba8f-4e54-8e9b-01893544a6c1

has two death records that I've reviewed but the third record in the batch is a birth record and the person who entered it originally, just entered info like it was a death record but the top of the record clearly indicates it a birth record. I can't seem to find a way to change the record in any way.

    Hi @CongdonStephenCraig1

    I don't work on these records, but I did look at the "What to Index" part of the instructions. Here is the pertinent section. I would not index that document since it is not a death notice. Furthermore, based on these instructions. I would go back to Step 1:Images and mark it No, No Extractable Data as instructed below.

    • Index all death notices, titled as "Sterfkennis" in Afrikaans.
    • Mark all other images, including supplementary death records, in Step 1: Images as No, No Extractable Data.

    Select Step 1: Images instead of the currently selected( Step 2: Entries from the dropdown menu shown in the upper left of your screen and shown below.
