Missing all even number pages in entire source document
"Deutschland, Preußen, Westpreußen, Katholische und Lutherisch Kirchenbücher, 1537-1981", database, FamilySearch (https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:6FY1-4QJS : 17 June 2022), Gottfried, 1789. The even number pages would have VITAL records of parents or other critical data to confirm identity of person. The index below image only shows first name (though 'hint' provided last name) but no parents listed with mother's maiden name that is critical. I believe it was a custom for ALL families to name members after other members so it is confusing enough.

Many of the old registers were photographed all left pages together and then all right pages together. With the older cameras, it was difficult to keep the old records in focus, and imaging in that manner was much easier for the photographer.
It would be great if the images had been assembled in order, but some of them are not. Many times, you will find all the rights together, after all the lefts. Sometimes, they are on a separate film.

Looking at the Catalog, it appears the left side of the pages are found on DGS 102624714 (yellow) and the right sides are on DGS 102624763 (blue). An additional filming of the book is on DGS 102619987 (green).
Here is the left side and the right side of Gottfried's record indexed here. The full page image is here and indexed here.
I have passed this information on to a team that can review the images in the hope they can be better linked. Hope this helps. Maile 🙂
