Link is not to record in hint

Peter Brodersen (GQGY-969) has a record hint for a death/burial in 1777. However, when you click on the link to view the record, it is a record for 1683 in a different place than the one suggested by the hint.

Macke Janckens (LZKF-2BR) has a record hint for a birth/baptism in 1764. However the linked images in this case are for 1858.

It may be a fluke, but the difference in years between what the hint suggests and the actual record images is 94 years—in both cases.

Thanks,

KariM

    That hint is from the "weaker hint" category, recommended only for experienced users. There may be a higher percentage of inaccurate hints with that option turned on.

    @Robert Seal_1 Could you take a look at this one, please? I don't entirely trust my reading of the old script. There could be something in a margin note that I've missed. Thanks.

    Hello @Áine.ní.Donnghaile and @KariM ,

    Áine: you didn't miss anything here. The hint is for a death which occurred in 1777, but the image is for deaths which occurred in the 1680s.

    Here is the link to the image which matches the hint:
    https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CSDD-W9NV?cat=koha%3A385831&view=explore&lang=en&groupId=TH-909-65166-673-34

    It is record no 4 at the top of the page for the death of Nenke, wife of the deceased Peter Brodersen. The death occurred on 20 May 1777 and the burial occurred on 1 June 1777.

    @KariM In summary, the link is to the right record, but the record is linked to the wrong image. Thanks, @Robert Seal_1 for saving us the trouble of finding the right film for this index of 1777 burials.
