Someone to contact about updating collection summaries?

Adrianne Erickson

Hello,

I love the summaries for collections because they are very informative. What I mean by summaries are the paragraph contained below the title of a collection. For a couple of summaries that I ran into today, it seems that they could be out of date. It is difficult to tell, because I do not have a way to go through the entire collection, but it made me wonder if there is someone who is in charge of updating the summaries for collections? And perhaps I could contact them? Also, the information for these collections would need to be updated on the FamilySearch Wiki; that is where I find a lot of the collections for my research. Here are two examples:

Collection title: Missouri Marriages, 1750-1920

Link: https://www.familysearch.org/en/search/collection/1680838

Collection title: Ohio Marriages, 1800-1958

Link: https://www.familysearch.org/en/search/collection/1681001

For both of these collections, the summary states that it is a "Name index" and that "Microfilm copies of these records are available at the Family History Library and Family History Centers." When I used these indexes, however, I was surprised to see that all of the images I was looking for were online! I looked through 12 counties of Ohio and they all have images. This means that the summary for the collection should be updated. Also, in the FamilySearch Wiki where this collection is mentioned, the information should be updated from "index" to "index & some images" or "index & images".

Is there someone I can notify to make these changes? Thank you for your help!
