Problem Summary: The film for Welsrijp and film for Baijum contain scans of both Welsrijp and Baijum.

Each contains scans contains the Netherlands Hervormd Church Records (Dutch: Kerkelijke) records of 2 small Frisian towns, Welsrijp and Baijum. The books and film title pages both state that these are records of joint church-register: Welsijp-Baijum. However, the digital scans are filed under the single entities: Welsrijp (Film #007172190) and Baijum (Film #007171841) (Misspelled Bajum on catalog title cards); this confusion makes it harder to find the scan needed. The ONLY Item pertains to a single city is Item 3 of Film #007172190 (Welsrijp Huwelijken)

I propose: Naming both Films Welsrijp-Baijum.

The Catalog record for Baijum also seems to be wholly incorrect. See Screenshots below.

    @Adrianna Zonnefeld Since it has been a long time since this was reviewed, can you check the records again and see if anything has changed. I recently took over the Catalog project and I am trying to clean up old Feedback posts. Thank you.

    @Adrianna Zonnefeld the engineers have looked at this and tell me that it is working as designed. The cities are searchable separately so they will not be renaming the records to create multiple, or conjoined city names. If you find any further areas of struggle with this record I encourage you to feel free to offer additional feedback.
