1861 births in New Bedford, MA, have been indexed incorrectly as being in 1860. They can be found at the link below and the following 20 pages. There may be systemic errors for other towns in the set as well; many simply aren't indexed for some reason.

    Unfortunately, there is no set provision for amending errors like this. If the indexed records are linked to the images and the "Edit" option is not "greyed-out" you might be able to change these on a one-by-one basis. Otherwise, you can only add a note to the record when you transfer it to an individual's Sources section in Family Tree. FamilySearch does not have a facility for direct reporting / correction of errors, as is found at Find My Past and many other websites.
