Record indexed wrong

Hey, I was doing some attaching on my relative line when I found something odd. The parents and their children were the same exact people in the output of the site. When I looked at the image and the record that the indexer recorded, it had the parents as completely different people than what was listed on the record I was given. I'm not sure what prompted this glitch, but could we get it fixed?

    The record is indexed correctly; it's the perspective that needs to shift.
    You're looking from the perspective of the son, who is not mentioned in the record.

    If you rotate the record, using "Change Person," to view from the perspective of Alma, whose death record it is, all will be well.

    Hope this helps.
