Birth/baptism record indexed as Death/burial

I just discovered one set of Norwegian birth/baptism records (fødte) that has been wrongly indexed as deaths/burials (døde). If it was just one page of the record, I'd attempt to make the fix, but it's all 23 pages of this particular record. (

Etne, Hordaland, Norway; 1866-1878; https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3QHK-93PP-BK45?view=index&cc=4237104&lang=en&groupId=)

As an aside, this set of records has also been correctly indexed. I only happened upon the problem when someone on the 1891 Norwegian census was listed as having died in 1872.

Hopefully there's a way to repair the entire set of images.

Thank you-

KariM

    Yes, I can see that AI read "døpte" as "død". I will send it in to be reindexed.

    Thank you for reporting.
