Problem

Recent Example:

Go to John Robinson  PID 9WRC-CDX

Click --Sources (6)

Open the 1863 source

Notice  the “Event Date”  shows “From 1863-1873” and should be showing  30 Oct 1872 instead.

This is likely preventing the system  from finding  possible duplicates.

Also tried a “Work Around” by using the  “Add Additional  fields” but there was not any choice on the list such as “ Event Date”; “Christening Date” ;  or “ Baptism Date

I am finding other records that likewise are showing the same problem.  Hopefully  this is a System problem and not an Indexer putting in the wrong information. 

Another problem I have run into is that the film titles are not always correct: Example: Church of England records are being shown as Non-Conformist.  Wondering if the Title from Item 1 is being used for all of the other Items on the film, which are often records from other locations. Again is this a system problem or and Indexer problem? 

Thank you.

    The gremlin, currently creating havoc with the Viewer/Editor, has gobbled up the index and locked the record.

    This record set belongs to the City of Liverpool. The index may have been created by them and imported. I noticed another record on the same page has a similar event date.

    There is a thread here on the known issues with the viewer/editor.
