Wrong event place in indexed church books

ric2016

Film # 101891087 contains three church books: Wersabe, Wittlohe (starting on page 601 as "1189560 Item 2"), and Wolterdingen (starting on page 1334).

The catalog shows these item correctly:

https://www.familysearch.org/search/catalog/122754

https://www.familysearch.org/search/catalog/122758

However, all events from the second and third items are wrongly indexed as "Wersabe, Wersabe, Kreis Geestemünde, Provinz Hannover, Preußen, Deutsches Reich" instead of "Wittlohe, …" and "Wolterdingen,…" respectively.

The edit function allows to correct single event places, but this should be corrected by FamilySearch directly for all affected events?

@ric2016 You are correct that all the records on this film were indexed as Wersabe. The records for Wittlohe and Wolterdingen are incorrect and this error has been reported.

Julia Szent-Györgyi

This is a common error in FS's indexes: the pre- or post-processing step that adds the place field applies a single place to the entire film, usually from item 1. The resulting errors have now been obscured by the even more widespread (and often inexplicable) errors introduced by the autostandardization process. Between the two of them, the result is an indexed records database that simply cannot be trusted about "where".

@SerraNola thank you for reporting the error. It has not been resolved yet though, how long does this take usually? Is it even likely to be resolved at all?

SerraNola

@ric2016 Yes, it will eventually get resolved. This is an indexing error which is a different process to fix, but it is on the list and I will ensure that it gets to the right team.
