How do I let FamilySearch know a database has been mislabled?

Lois Bell

This database has dates labeled as death dates when they are birth dates.

"Iowa Deaths and Burials, 1850-1990", database, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:XVH1-DLS : 16 January 2020), Frank J. Stillman in entry for Stillman, 1887.

@Lois Bell Thank you for reporting that the Iowa Deaths and Burials record collection includes birth dates. Unfortunately, this is a legacy collection. Which means that no corrections are being made. This wiki article explains Legacy Collections:

You can use the mis-labeled record as a source if you'd like and explain the error in your "reason to attach statement.

You might also want to look at some of the other record collections for Iowa or search Images or the catalog for records of the county where your ancestors lived. Here are some Help Center article links and a link to a wiki article that can help you find other ways to get the information you found in this old collection.

Why would such practice ever be allowed?
