@macalter Thank you for reporting that the Massachusetts Deaths record collection includes birth records. This is a known issue with that record collection. We have reported it to the team that maintains the collections. I just checked on the ticket we created to report the problem, and no action has yet been taken.
While you are not able to edit the information in order to correct it, you can still attach it as a source for your ancestor. You will want to note the error in the collection title in your reason to attach. You can also edit the source after you attach it. One of the fields that you can edit is the source title. You can also add an additional note there about the error. Here is a help center article that gives details for editing attached sources, in case you have never done that.
