Who to contact when indexing is totally wrong on at least 21 pages, 12 records on each?
I came up on baptism records where all the information is wrong. On 21 pages, the year is indexed as 1930 when it is in fact 1730 that is written in number at the top of the page and in each record. All the names are also wrong, for example, first name put as last name, middle name as first in best cases, or totally different from what is written. I corrected the first page but it took a very long time. A couple mothers were not even mention when their names were there. It would be a lot easier and faster to index those pages again. Who do we contact when we come across such mistakes? It is not the first time, and there should be a way to correct those mistakes that are the same on numerous pages. The worst was when death records were indexed as baptism. All those mistakes are put on FamilySearch and make the work very discouraging for those who see the correct information deleted in favor of all those wrongly indexed information.

That is the last image. It started at 341, and I have been doing the corrections, but I can't correct the wrong sex or add a person when twins were indexed as one person.

The other document is this one. The years are 10 years younger than they should be. It starts at image 7 to image 24.
Another one, in the whole document, 527 images, the years are wrong. It is Film # 008315978.
The first image where there are records was indexed at the year 1775 when it is the year 1757. The film covers the years 1757, 1758 and 1759 but in the indexing documents they put 1775 and then 1776. I can't correct more than 500 pages!
