Catalog error

I have discovered an error in the catalog - actually the wrong type of record was included in the wrong film. To wit: film 1660105 5623679 Ceglie del Campo Bari Matrimoni 1866-1900 is missing the 1872 matrimoni (marriages). These records are included on film 1659999 5623655 Notificazioni (Marriage Banns). Images 590-634. Can the catalog be corrected to reflect this discovery? Thx

    The images are locked for me, so I can't verify anything, but you are aware that these are multi-item films, right? The camera link in the catalog goes to the beginning of the film/image group, even if the item is found on, say, images 2610 to 2900.

    (Typo: the film number correspoding to digital image group number 5623679 is 1660195, not 1660105.)

    Help Center article for submitting Catalog corrections:

    Every once in a while I see arguments on Community about the difference between banns and marriage documents. I have not investigated this report - but someone more familiar with Italian could state whether these records are indeed banns and not marriages. The record divider - image 590 - does indeed seem to indicate marriage records follow: "degli atti di matrimonio" , but is it a certificate of banns or of marriage?

    I also found a collection that had an error in the catalog; the collection contained images for years outside the range of the title. Among the images outside the dates listed in the title I found records for research I was doing. I did not report the error because I was afraid my citation, which included Film and IGN would go bad because the images could be regrouped with a new collection and I wouldn't be able to find them again. What happens when this kind of correction is made?

    What happens when this kind of correction is made?

    @Gail Swihart Watson I don't know - but suspect that changed portion should be noted in the Collection> How to use this collection> Known Issues - wiki page.
