Is this probem specific to this record does it indicate a wider issue?

I was reviewing an indexed record which seemed to indicate the death of a 2 year old with a spouse and with a different last name from her father which didn't seem right for a family in sicily. When I looked at the image of the record the information in the index isn't correct but it is a "partial overlap" with the record information. Here's the link to the indexed information:

https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:XRRX-H8D?cid=fs_copy

And here is the link to the image of the record:

https://antenati.cultura.gov.it/ark:/12657/an_ua15390561/wREzVv4

Which shows the death of 2 year old Angela Russa with father Alfonso and mother Gaetana Lentini while the indexed information suggested Angela Russo was married to Alfonso and had different mother & father names: Paolo Gucciardino & Rosa Lumia.

Those parents appear on the next record, #310, for the death of their son Salvatore Gucciardino who is 55 years old. This makes me wonder if it's a programming issue with how the indexed info is being displayed.

If the problem is specific to this record, I know how to handle it but I wanted to run it by the community in case it should be elevated to the programming team for broader correction. If I can help to provide additional info to help, please let me know. Thank you for your help.

    The legacy status of that record set means the programmers won't look at it, won't add to it, won't change it.

    [The community software will often corrupt the URL if the poster enters a return or space immediately after the URL.]

    According to the Wiki description, the record set is a Legacy Collection. That means no changes will be made. https://www.familysearch.org/en/wiki/Italy_Deaths_and_Burials_-_FamilySearch_Historical_Records

    Yes, that makes sense but I guess I was thinking this type of problem might be an indication of a problem between the databases (like they're offset from each other or something) so it might be worth a look by the programmers. Maybe I misunderstood your response and the legacy status is going to impact if they'll take a look or that you know it isn't that sort of problem if so sorry to ask again but it just seems like a shame to lose all the value from a record set if it is a database issue.
