Index shows wrong father

John Clement said: Joseph Hall Bartlet in Massachusetts, Town Clerk, Vital and Town Records, 1626-2001. Father indexed as Samuel - but image clearly shows father as Israel.

Paul said: Unfortunately John, there are many, many more of those type of errors to be found. It's bad enough when the image is not clear, but the indexer must have experienced a sudden lack of concentration to make an error like this, if the image is perfectly clear. Sadly, only certain records can be amended with alternative / correct detail, at present. This is due to be extended at a later date (I believe) to include far more records AND for "correcting" wrong dates and places, as well as personal names.

Meanwhile, if you are a Family Tree user, attach the source with a note saying (in this case), " Father incorrectly indexed as SAMUEL, instead of ISRAEL - as image clearly shows."
