birth certificate with death certificate

flaviacpn · February 19

I'm reviewing death microfilms but in one image I found a birth certificate. There is no option to change death to birth, there is only the option to change death to marriage. What should I do?

When we mark an image as No Extractable Data, it isn't lost. Family Search looks at all those NED images to see if they indeed can't be indexed for some reason, and when an image just doesn't fit in the project it's been put into, it will be saved and put into the appropriate project at a future date. Nothing is "lost".

Depends on the project and its specific instructions, but it sounds like the image should be marked "no, no extractable data" in Step 1, because the project is only for marriage and death records.

First of all thank you for answering me. But if I mark no extractable data, this image will be lost, right? Who can go back and recover a single lost image from the death records?

The issue here is surely that the errant birth certificate won't get indexed in its 'proper' Collection either.

When looking through image sets I have seen quite a few images that don't match the set's supposed contents.

Could there perhaps be some general Lost and Found location/'collection' where such images can be indexed (at least image set/page, name, date, place, record type) and made available for searching?

That's great to hear, @barbaragailsmith1 - would it also get added to the results of a previous project where relevant? Or do projects always get revisited over time anyway?
