Please fix - Maine Death Index
Comments

Maine Death Index, 1960-1996 is an index in the state of Maine for those who died in the state of Maine. If you would like to fix the problem at Family Search, you will need to have someone go through their index ion your website and change all of the entries from towns in Canada, California and for other states & countries for the towns your volunteers have mess up. Maine assigned an Affiliate Code for each town in Maine. The problem seems to be that your volunteers are using those codes as if they were Postal Codes, I assume.
Here's the latest one I've run across:
Maine Death Index, 1960-1996
Name S E Campbell
Age 85
Death Date 09 Nov 1960
Death Place Castine
Affiliate City Code 09080
Certificate Number 6009114
Castine is a city in Hancock county, Maine. Maine does not post deaths occurring in other states. What FamilySearch has indexed Castine, Maine as is:
Principal
Maine Death Index, 1960-1996
Death 9 November 1960
Castine, Darke, Ohio, United States
Note: This is what you find when searching S E Campbell who lived & died in Maine.
I hope this gets to the right person as I have struggled to find the right place to post Feedback. Way too complicated in comparison to the old days using FamilySeach.org.
Like I said, this is the latest. Their are hundreds & hundreds of others if you care to look through this file.
