Problem Summary: The film for Welsrijp and film for Baijum contain scans of both Welsrijp and Baijum.

Each contains scans contains the Netherlands Hervormd Church Records (Dutch: Kerkelijke) records of 2 small Frisian towns, Welsrijp and Baijum. The books and film title pages both state that these are records of joint church-register: Welsijp-Baijum. However, the digital scans are filed under the single entities: Welsrijp (Film #007172190) and Baijum (Film #007171841) (Misspelled Bajum on catalog title cards); this confusion makes it harder to find the scan needed. The ONLY Item pertains to a single city is Item 3 of Film #007172190 (Welsrijp Huwelijken)

I propose: Naming both Films Welsrijp-Baijum.

The Catalog record for Baijum also seems to be wholly incorrect. See Screenshots below.
