Website Records Glitch?

Catherine Aquart

On Monday 30th March I was at my local Family History Centre to look at Film # 1563515 for the Island of Grenada. Since my previous visit, it looks like there was an update of some kind which has resulted in a glitch.

Registers of records 1766-1772 (French language series)    FamilySearch Library    International B1 Floor Film    1563515 Items 5-9    8071280   

Registers of records 1928-1931 (v. N8-Q8)    FamilySearch Library International B1 Floor Film    1563515 Items 1-4    8071280

The film appears to have been broken in two (actually a good thing). However, when you click on the link for the images, the results are identical for both. Both contain only 500+ images and the images are for item 1 only (English, not French).

There seems to be no way to report the error. When I tried, I was referred to the member community.

@Catherine Aquart
I'm at my FSC this afternoon and took a quick look at the DGS you mentioned.

I pulled up DGS 8071280 in the Images viewer https://www.familysearch.org/en/records/images

I see 9 parts, each with a different number of images.

I then checked DGS 8071280 from the catalog, to compare. And, I see that the listings for Items 1-4 and Items 5-9 appear to be identical - both starting with #1563515 and containing 3,002 images.

A project is in process to divide longer DGS that may cover many decades. It's possible something slipped through in that process.

For now, I think you should be able to find what you want using the Images view.

@SerraNola could you check on this one, please? Thank you.

@Catherine Aquart I don't see any error here except that the catalog links to the old viewer which displays the whole film in both links. Only in the new viewer are the divided item numbers displayed. This was the topic of last week's issue with confusion over how to maneuver to other items on the film, after landing in Item 1 in the New Viewer. For now the rollout of linking to the "new viewer" has been halted.

Also, I would take issue with the 1928 to 1932 records being classified as wills. They are mostly indentures with many wills attached.

@SerraNola Thank you for the responses. I will go back and try again.@Áine.ní.Donnghaile
