Incorrect Event Type For Amsterdam Death Indexes

When I was attaching a death record to https://www.familysearch.org/tree/person/details/LRTG-DDT , it said there was a death registration, but no death event. So I looked at the image and noticed that this collection has the death date written in as death registration dates (that is not the same thing). I never put down death registration dates on profiles by the way, but it can be beneficial when searching for the record on the image.


The image is shown below but can be accessed via https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:939D-MKHX-9?i=572&cc=2020117

The entire collection needs to change the event type to death instead of death registration, as it seems from the limited number of images I looked at, that the date that was indexed is the death date and not the death registration date.


Because the event type is not death, it is not tagged for the death vital either--automatically that is.

    Ok and in this one, there is a death year recorded, but the death date itself is recorded as the death registration and the death registration date is not actually recorded.... Who indexed these lol?


    For the first one (which is for someone I am related to), it reads they died on 28 Feb 1944 and that event was registered on the 29 Feb 1944. The Index says They died in 1944 and that the death registration was the 28 Feb 1944. That's incorrect.
