Records show wrong location
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CSMZ-CS26-R
Should be Bethlehem, New York, but indexed as Maryland.

You are right.
A support team checks all discussions in Community. I guess they will answer you sometime soon and refer this case to someone who can solve the problem.

@Mirevo, the collection title is not editable, and it says Maryland there, too. See for example https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:QGK6-326D, which is the first index entry from the image that Alan linked. It is clearly labeled at the top of the page as "Reformed Church, Bethlehem Twp, Albany, New York".
Basically, the index entries for these images have been put in the wrong collection. Some of the pages have had the marriage place corrected, so they look OK on the index tab of the image viewer, but if you go to an index entry, it still says "Maryland, Church Records" in the collection title. (For example: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:QGLJ-MMH6.)

I am interested in the Totnes (Devon, UK) records and when I click onto say - John Clase born 17 August 1628 to check image availability then to browse the film, I get the records for 'Locality of Record Dutchess County Courthouse Clerks Office Sate of New York. Film No. 007180517. This can't be right and I wonder if you can correct this so I can see the proper Totnes church registers. Many thanks, Isabel Harris.

@IsabelHarris1 You are correct that the wrong film is referenced. I did a catalog place search for Totnes and found two results that cover baptisms for the correct time period. I did not find John Clase in bishops transcripts but did find him in parish registers. His christening is in film 007341732, image 253 of 371, entry three. You can attach this to his page with a note about the error.
Steps in case you do not know how to attach the image: Click Attach to Family Tree in the top right corner of the page. Write notes. (I would write something like 1628 August, entry three "The 17th Christened John the sonne of John Clase") Optional: check Add to Source Box. Click Next: Select Person. Choose John from the list or enter his ID. Click the circle to the right of both men named in the record and then click Next. Write your reason statement and click Attach.
I hope that helps. Maile 🙂
