WWI Draft Records Indexed Incorrectly
I noticed some WWI Draft records were indexed incorrectly—instead of writing the person on the draft, the name of the nearest relative was recorded instead. After fixing a handful of these, I became concerned that there are widespread issues in this batch.
Here's a few examples:
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:W6MZ-6SZM ←This should be Alfred, not Mary.
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:W6MZ-47W2 ← This should be William, not Dorothea.
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:33S7-81WS-9WYP?i=2382&cc=1968530 ← This should be Anton, not Anne.
I also noticed (and fixed) one person who's name was John Bernard just being written as "J B" which was how that person signed the document.
Definitely not all of this batch is wrong, but it seems like every few records there's a problem. Can anything be done to fix this?
Thanks.

@Áine Ní Donnghaile Interesting. Your Feedback did not come through. Could you try it again to see if Feedback is malfunctioning?

I know that Feedback has been problematic on other items today. Several of us tried leaving Feedback on a book question posted earlier.

Submitted again, and again (as before) the "We got your feedback!" popped up.
