    I have this same issue with this set of records. It is listed as a marriage record when in fact it is a birth record

    "Massachusetts State Vital Records, 1841-1920", database with images, FamilySearch (https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:Q29D-C2B8 : 15 November 2022), Carrie Davis in entry for Sullivan, 1909.

    You can report problems with historical records that have images attached using the following steps. In the case of https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:Q29D-C2B8, this can be found at https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:S3HT-6XP9-Q2Q?view=explore&groupId=TH-266-12143-22827-94

    How to report an issue in an indexed record that has an image:

    • Open Document Information, usually found under the document image in the indexed record.
    • Copy the Digital Folder Number, do not click to open. Also note the Image Number if it is listed.
    • Go to Search> Images> More Options.
    • Enter the copied number from the Doc Info into the Image Group Number (DGS) box and click Search.
    • Open the result that matches the indexed record's Collection Information.
    • Find the image that correlates to the indexed record. This is where you can enter the image number so you don't have to look through each image
    • Click on the Feedback tab, usually on the left hand side of the screen.
    • Choose an emoji
    • Enter the error or issue with the record in the box below the emojis.
