Here is a book that should be in Zagreb, Sv. Ivan, not in Senja, Sv. Juraj.

Is there somebody to contact directly about issues like this?

    That's an error in the waypoints, which in my experience do not get corrected. My impression is that they're so old, there's no one left who knows how.

    If you follow the link in the "Information" tab at the bottom, you get to the catalog page for the right church in Zagreb, but unfortunately, the index post-processing (and therefore the autostandardizer) appears to have gone with the waypoint rather than the catalog. https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:QKMK-PDGY

    (Randomly-chosen entry from the Index tab on the first image I got to that had index entries.) In other words, while the whole image group unquestionably needs its location fixed, for once it's not the automangler's fault. The error was introduced long before it came on the scene. (The filming was done three and a half decades ago, per the catalog.)

    I just hope that somebody will correct this misinformation in the system. Thanks for the follow-up.

    @Branko I'm sorry that I neglected to acknowledge your report of this place name error, but it has been documented to ensure it gets corrected. For your information, the entire Film #5482953 Catholic Church records of St Ivan parish church in the city of Zagreb, Croatia was incorrectly indexed as "Senja, Sv Juraj and placed in that waypoint group. Thus, Sv. Juraj, Croatia is shown in Index Details and that was auto-standardized incorrectly as Sunja, Zagreb, Croatia in search results.

    In addition, DGS #'s 5481602, 5481603, 5481604, 5481605, 5481606 and Item 6 of 5481601 (part of the same collection) are all records of Dubovac, but most show incorrectly in search results as Gornji Dubovec.

    Thank you for calling this to our attention.
