Collection Mislabeled
Found a mis-labeled collection, but no Feedback option noted anywhere, so thought I'd post here. The immigration document is for Port of Black Rock, New York, so not sure why it shows Vermont, Franklin, St. Albans. Please direct to the correct department for modifications; I did the best I could to edit the record on the profile page, but help still needed.

Labels by nature are short. On the collection search page, there is a reference to the District and a link to the wiki "How to use this collection," and that's where the full description is found.

In the Wiki description of the collection -
https://www.familysearch.org/en/wiki/Vermont,_Franklin,_St._Albans,Canadian_Border_Crossings-_FamilySearch_Historical_Records
The collection contains an index and passenger manifests to all Canadian border entries, not just those which took place at St. Albans, Vermont.The "Event Place" of Vermont references the district office location. It will be necessary to view the original record to determine the port of entry.

@Áine Ní Donnghaile, it appears you're saying that it is labeled correctly, and that the Port of Black Rock, New York documents are included in the Vermont district office, right? If so, then thanks for the information…. Maybe the label should include reference to "district office"?
