Incorrect film title and place designation of records on said film #007616137

This page contains the entry for the marriage of my great-grandparents. The marriage occurred in Hartford, Connecticut, but the index for this record records it as having occurred in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, at the Westminster Presbyterian Church. When examining the film, one can see the Harrisburg Church listed first, and then all the ensuing records are listed under that church, when, in fact, the individual events occurred in other churches, in other states. The film is listed as Pennsylvania Marriages, when, in fact, it is Presbyterian Church records, of which only some occurred in Pennsylvania. Only pages 3-84 are from the Westminster Church. My record of interest is on page 423, line 193, which actually occurred in Hartford, Connecticut, not in Harrisburg. (William Laudon and Elizabeth Davidson)

@Allison Hoopes Sorry for the delay in responding…
This film is part of a Legacy collection, meaning the index was created from extracted data decades ago. Because the index is not yet attached to the film it cannot yet be user edited. (Legacy collections are not updated by FamilySearch.) As you can see the extracted batch of records (M53098-1) was indexed as a Presbyterian Church in Harrisburg, PA:
It is correct in Catalog: https://www.familysearch.org/en/search/catalog/koha:159490 and in Images metadata, but is in the wrong collection:
It can be moved to the Connecticut Marriages collection, but the indexing will still show up as Harrisburg until you are able to see the index in the viewer and can correct it. Sorry for the inconvenience, but thank you for bringing this to our attention.
