The record for Francesso G. Bonaro here

https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:HGWM-2J3Z?lang=en

Has a link to the original that takes you here (image 45 of 172)

https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-C9BC-69J8-Y?view=index&personArk=%2Fark%3A%2F61903%2F1%3A1%3AHGWM-2J3Z&action=view&cc=3518938&lang=en&groupId=M99R-3XS

Which is NOT him at all. I found the actual image here (image 28 of 176, using the in-volume index found by a text search to then get the record)

https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-C9BC-69V2-W

This was to document problems in this record set.

My original question involves the record for Lucille Adams here

https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:HG71-4R2M?lang=en

Clicking on Check Image Availability gives me the options of SEARCH FULL TEXT (which finds unrelated Lucille Adams) or BROWSE THE FILM (which takes me here. Film # 007715866

https://www.familysearch.org/en/search/film/007715866?i=0

The DGS number, 7715866 is part of a larger group here

https://www.familysearch.org/en/search/catalog/koha:752920

which the note states: "Funerals, 1941-1942 DUBOIS-CARTER-CRAM MORTUARY Funerals, 1974 DUBOIS-WILSON MORTUARY Funerals, 1948-1949"

I note that 1977 records are NOT part of that note.

This former observation about this record and a suggestion to look at an adjacent reel did not provide the success that I had hoped for.

https://community.familysearch.org/en/discussion/134882/some-records-in-the-california-deaths-and-burials-appear-to-be-linked-to-wrong-images

I have attempted to Find Lucille Adams by browsing in other record sets that included the year 1977 without success.

Thank you

    @FLQR It is not uncommon for Legacy (extracted) records to be assigned to the wrong film. In your first example, the index for Item 2 was attached incorrectly to Item 3. The image you need for Lucille Adams can be found here, in an entirely different collection:

    Lucille Adams

    I'll submit these two cases and the one from 2022 for correction. Thank you for catching these errors.
