Records not indexed-- obvious errors

Editing indexes is pretty complicated. Much more than the original creation of the index because it has to account for any possible type of record while indexing projects had a set group of options depending on the record set being indexed. I'm rather impressed the FamilySearch is willing to let us regular users do this editing.

Also, the index editor does have a few bugs that can make things a bit difficult. Another factor that causes trouble is that it can take some time for changes to sync across systems. I have seen times when I have edited that a change actually appears to cause a record to vanish. At those times stopping right then and coming back a couple of hours later when the syncing has had a chance to catch up results in the record showing up again.

When I look at the link you posted, I don't see Hedwigis at all right now. I do see Heva sitting there without parents. So I have to do a bit of speculation.

You have to remember that for birth records, each child has a separate, independent record that is not connected at all to any other child's record on the page. You cannot add Hewigis to Heva's record and you cannot add Heva's parents to Hewigis's record. I suspect that what whet wrong is that you attempted to move Heva's parents to Hedwigis's record which removed them from Heva. You need to view Heva and Hedwigis as two different entries each with its own child and set of parents even though the parents are the same.

Assuming that Hedwigis will show up sometime later today or tomorrow, I would not do anything with her until that happens. If she shows the correct parents, then I would just leave them be.

So what you need to do is create new parents for Heva. Start on her record:

Click on the pencil icon next to relationships:

Click Add More Information (You clicked on Help with Relationships and got led astray, right?):

Here is where it gets confusing. Who is the focus in the relationship? I want to add a parent so do I pick Parent here because that is who I am going to add or Child because she is going to be the child in the new relationship? I usually guess wrong and have to make corrections. I wish this pop up was labeled better!

I think since she is the primary person on the record and she is the child, that I pick child here:

Wrong, wrong, wrong! That gives me a list of all the people already indexed to add as her child. So I will cancel instead of saving and try again.

Canceling that adding of relationships, getting back to my first image above, then clicking the pencil again to come back here:

This time I click on Parent. I'm going to assume both her mother and father are in the record and click Parent twice to get this:

Then click Update to come here:

Clicking in the first Parent box opens a dropdown menu listing everyone on the page that has been indexed (except Heva):

Now this is the important part! You are adding a brand new record for a missing child and her missing parents. It does not matter if she is a twin. She has to have her own parents and no one else's!

So you must scroll to the bottom of the list and choose Named Not Indexed:

That brings you to this screen where you can add information about her father. Then you do the same in the other parent field. Yes, this adds a second entry for each of the parents. That is how indexes work. Doesn't matter if that second set of the same parents is on the next line of the register or two years later with their next child.

I'll cancel out here and let you start from the beginning. Let me know if other problems arise.
