How to report a error in Historical Base

Hello I discovered that in this collection there are records with the place "Paz, Candói, Paraná, Brasil". This is a error in the indexing, the cemitery is right, but the city should be Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais.

I would like to report and access the images to correct the record.

I discovered it based on the duplicated record of my great-uncle.

    I was going to instruct you to use the Feedback button in Historical records to report this error, but I was not able to find that feature right now. So I am thinking you might be able to get some help in the Latin America group, which deals with records from Brazil. https://community.familysearch.org/en/group/115-latin-american-and-caribbean-research I will request that this post be moved there.

    Looking more deeply into the issue, I think you did the right thing by editing the record. Here is a help article on correcting mistakes in indexed records. https://www.familysearch.org/en/help/helpcenter/article/fix-errors-in-historical-record-transcriptions-or-indexes I still think there should be a feedback button somewhere in the historical records where you can report the problem. I will look into this. Maybe someone else in the community has a suggestion or two that can help us.

    When dealing with Record issues, FamilySearch has provided a way to report record errors, problems, restrictions, or bugs with specific records/collections. To report this specific issue, I think this would be a great venue for you to receive the help you need. Click on the following link Records Issue Complete the form with as detailed information as possible and submit.

    I reported this problem with the form (same with Feedback and Suggest an Idea) some time ago and was assured that it was being looked at. I will chase it.

    I gather that this issue is on the list, but is awaiting the necessary resources.
