I was researching in the Strümpfelbrunn (A. Eberbach) Ev. church books and noticed that lists of communicants were indexed as deaths.

    You are correct. Those dates are indeed dates of communion and not deaths. Unfortunately, we are not able at this time to fix those types of errors. As long as the index is doing its job of getting the guests to records about their ancestors, we need to learn to live with any errors that are not yet editable.  Thank you for bringing this to our attention. The following article from the help center may help:
