In the German baptismal record, my ancestor is clearly identified as illegitimate. His birth father later shows up in marriage records with a woman other than my ancestor's mother. But the transcribed record for FamilySearch lists the father as "husband" to the mother. Can that be fixed?

"Deutschland, ausgewählte evangelische Kirchenbücher 1500-1971," database, FamilySearch (https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:QPJ5-ZM7F : 17 May 2023), Sophia Schmidt in entry for Möller, 26 Jun 1832; images digitized and records extracted by Ancestry; citing Baptism, Belitz, Belitz, Mecklenburg-Schwerin, Deutschland, Belitz, German Lutheran Collection, various parishes, Germany.

    As noted in the citation, that record comes from Ancestry.com. You would need to ask Ancestry to make the change.
