Greetings,

This marriage is transcribed as occurring in "German Flats, Rhode Island" when the top of the image clearly states "German Flatts [sic], Herkimer, New York". The citation is also in error, listing Rhode Island instead of New York. I suspect that the whole collection needs to be looked through for similar errors.

The "EDIT" button is greyed out, so that I cannot report this there. I tried calling the 866 help line, but after I was on hold for about 20 minutes, the call was dropped. Upon calling back, the robo-voice told me that the department was closed for the day. Then, I spent more time trying to find this Community thingy in order to post here. I am frustrated in my efforts to do FamilySearch a good turn! I have invested at least 1.5 hours in this effort without any hope of resolution as yet.

Therefore, I am dropping this in your laps.........

Please notify the Powers-That-Be that this is an error that I suspect runs over many records, not just the one for my relative.

Thank you.
