Mexico records: Errors in Source

You've got a problem in the linkage between the data and the images for the dataset: Mexico, México, Civil Registration, 1861-1941, Villa del Carbón, Nacimientos 1871-1887. The link listed on the source page is https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:QGQ9-56P8.

Clicking on the thumnbnail to view the image brings up page 466 of 524 in the image set. The index data down below is what I want. The problem is that image 466 is 8 pages later than the image that the data below actually comes from. Page 466 shows page 2, records 61-63 of a different book. The data in the index below page 466 is from page 16, records 45-47, which is found on page 458 of 524.

Of course, the linkage error is endemic to the dataset. The index at the bottom of page 458 is from page 9 records 22-24. The image that data goes to is 8 pages before, on 450 of 524 in the image set. And it goes on and on.

Plus, when I try to download image 458, I get a big error message on a black screen saying there is an error in the file.

    I had no problem downloading image 458 just now. I often see the error message you mention when I've been working a while and downloading a number of images. Usually, I can return a little later and successfully download the image.

    Yeah. The error cleared later and I was able to download it.

    I wish you had come with the answer to the image / link disconnect. ;)
