Greimerath indexed in wrong parish name
DGS 008113128 - last item just this one with 5 different parishes. (starting image 286)
I had FSL staff open the image to verify because at the moment the parish records for Zerf and Greimerath are restricted.
The images show the parish is Greimerath, part of Zerf, Saarburg, Rhein, Preußen, Deutsch,
Indexed names are linked to wrong local parish
"Sankt Nikolaus, Sankt Nikolas, Saarbrücken, Rhein, Preußen, Deutschland"
I am concerned because of this glaring indexing error. It should be Sankt Nikolaus, Greimerath, Saarburg, Rhein, Preußen, Deutschland"
See Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greimerath,_Trier-Saarburg with photo of the parish church.

You are correct that every record for Greimerath in this film has been indexed as Saarbrucken. The error will be reported to the appropriate team.
I cannot explain why this particular image group number is now restricted, but it may be temporary. Keep checking back. When you do have access, the place name can be edited. Because it's linked to others, it appears that the name didn't change but if you check Record Details and Search Results, it displays correctly:

The parish records is on microfilm only. Not online, due to restrictions imposed by church Copyright Office without any regard as to how the restrictions can be fixed to be visible while in the FSL. Staff there aren't happy with the excessive restrictions that are literally uncalled for. Those restrictions look like somebody in the Copyright office is anti-Temple.

The proper naming of Greimerath is
Greimerath, Saarburg, Rhein, Preußen, Deutschland (must include Deutschland), or when anyone use the Discovery Center, will find the places in the middle of Atlantic Ocean. (I know because I noticed the freaky results). I am very native-centric, not English-centric.
Speaking of native-centric, you can't attract non-English speaking if insistence is on English-Centric. This was brought up repeatedly. Emphasis is on native-centric.
