Venezuela—Registro Civil, 1873–2004 [Parte A] -- Problems with Project

Hey FS Engineers. Something weird is going on with this project. In the past week or so, I have found that at least half of the batches are missing every third image. In the affected batches, it is consistently every third image missing, as far forward and backward in the reference images as I can look. It's not just me because the indexers have indexed it exactly the way I'm seeing it. It makes it impossible to accurately complete those batches.

Or maybe the photographers skipped every third page while filming -- not very probable, huh?

    Engineers, Further to my earlier question:

    The problem appears to be only with marriages in this project. My memory (not perfect) is that the "Every-Third-Image-Missing" batches have been marriages. Since I posted that question, I have been keeping exact track of what type of batch they were. In the batches I have done since then, about 8 have been marriages and they _AALLLL_ had every third image (page) missing.

    Lemme give you a for instance -- the batch I am working on right now.

    Venezuela—Registro Civil, 1873–2004 [Parte A][MSYD-NN9]

    Image 1 shows page 8, with record number 3 starting on the right side. Image 2 shows page 9, with record 4 starting on the right side. Reference image +1 shows page 11, with record number 5 starting on the left side. Page 10, with the rest of record 4, is missing. The data for record 4 (ages and parents' names) can thus not be completed.

    Record 2, which starts on the missing page 7 (Reference image -1) can never be done. The indexer tried to enter this record (though they shouldn't have) but all you can glean from the end of that record are the names of the bride and groom. The indexer erroneously entered a registration / marriage date but I think they were just guessing because the date never appears at the end of a marriage record. I should have deleted this data record, since it starts on the previous page, but I left it for fear that you will never get the images corrected and let page 7 be completely indexed.

    So, record 3 is the only one that can be properly indexed.

    The same situation with this batch. Records 21 and 23 can never be properly completed because pages 26 and 29 are missing.

    Well, I guess I lied about the problem just being in batches of marriages. I just pulled up this batch of births and it also has every third image (& page) missing. The two images for this batch covers pages 29 and 30. Reference images -1 and +1 contain pages 27 and 32. The two images containing pages 28 and 31 are missing.

    In this case, fortunately, there is no useful information on the missing pages so all the records in this batch can be completed properly.

    So the problem is not with every batch. This batch of deaths shows no missing pages.

    But this batch of marriages is missing every 3rd.

    As is this batch: Venezuela—Registro Civil, 1873–2004 [Parte A][MSYD-JWS]. The actual images here are both NED but you can see the every-third-missing pattern in the reference images.

    Do you have enough data to convince you the problem is real and not with my computer? And I don't need to change my browser or clear my cache.
