Finding Baptismal Record using Index

Referred to @Latin American Genealogy Research​ by admin.

 

Hello!

 

I'm stuck on trying to find the baptismal record for one of my ancestors, and any help would be appreciated. Here is my ancestor: https://www.familysearch.org/tree/person/details/GW18-ZKG.

 

I believe I have found her on the "index" of a book containing baptismal records here: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3QS7-99ZY-GD1W, where I believe she's the first name under the heading "P". Unfortunately when I try to use the number in the index (29) to look her up in that book, she's nowhere to be found. I've tried looking at the 29th page, the 29th entry, and even looking at adjacent books in case the index is for a separate book. I've also noticed that I'm similarly unable to find other entries in that index, which doesn't make much sense to me.

 

Thank you!

    I was able to find the answer: the index belongs the second book in the fourth record in the link I provided. The index is at the very end of the physical book, but I imagine the photographer put it first thinking it was an index for the entire record, instead of just the second book of the record.
