Brenner Collection with incorrect indexing and incorrect images attached.
How do you correct the wrong image attached to an indexed file and attaching the wrong children to an indexed record?
Family Search has attached the wrong image #1183 to Georg Wilhelm Wehrwein (LYRL-S75). It should be image #1182. Both Family search and Ancestry have matched and listed the children on image #1184, adding that the incorrect last name of Wehrwein. Those children are born centuries earlier then Georg Wilhelm Wehrwein (LYRL-S75) and probably go with the Weibel name on #1183.
It is very confusing to have all those children matched with Georg. Is there a way to check on the Brenner collection which front and back page actually go together?

The record is not attached to Georg Wilhelm Wehrwein LYRL-S75. Georg is suggested as a Possible Tree Match.
You can dismiss the possible match. You will then be presented with a series of questions to explain why it is not a match. All of that will help to train the hinting algorithm.

It looks like there are several things going wrong here at once, but the hint is one of the few things that's actually correct, because (as you said), Georg Wilhelm Wehrwein is actually on this film, on image 1182 of 1243 (https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:33SQ-GPSP-9M6W?i=1181&cc=3227343). His index entry (https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:7NG2-386Z) links to image 1183, which is a bookmark/collection page with no people on it, but for some reason, the index has associated not only George with that image, but also all of the names from the following image (1184), which — again, as you said — is for a totally different family from three centuries earlier.
This is a correctable index, but I'm still leery of doing so, lest my attempts at fixing it result in it disappearing instead. If I weren't currently neck-deep in Kronbergers marrying Kronbergers, I would perhaps go searching for that Weibel family from Ansbach. If I found them, I'd attach the relevant index entries to them. I'd do the same for Georg and his wife, with a note in the resulting sources about the correct image number, and about the incorrect children in the index. Once everything was attached, I'd feel free to explore the current state of the index editor, by attempting to disassociate Georg from those children.
If that all sounds too daunting, then you can take advantage of the silver lining to the index-to-image association being wrong: you can use the "Attach to Family Tree" button on image 1182 to attach it to Georg and Anna directly, bypassing the index's nonsense.
(As far as I can tell, image 1183 with the Weibel surname is the front of a piece of paper, and image 1184, with the 16th century children, is the back of that same piece of paper. Georg's image is the front of a page; there does not appear to be an image of the back, probably because it's empty.)

Thank you for responding. On a short search for any families with the name, Weibel, on Family Search in 1600s or 1500s; there is very little. I guess I settle right now with attaching what I can and making note of what is incorrect. Maybe then looking into index editor.
Thank you for your help!

I did find the match on family search for the Weibel on image 1185.
