@shecorwe and @sc woz My record-specific issue is a poorly indexed Obituary involving the names of living people marked as deceased - AI indexed obituarys always have mistakes-just ask anyone who did web indexing 2012-2020 Yes I can report to engineers on the Records Issues Form, but its also a Historical Records problem. How can we researchers fix/correct these obituaries from Source Linker? Thanks, Mary

@maryellenstevensbarnes1 Is your issue a different collection from the one mentioned above? The answer is still to report the issue using a
Records Issues Form. We will research it and get back to you.1 -
@shecorweYes mine is coming thru Numident/Genealogy Bank

@maryellenstevensbarnes1 I split your issue into a separate conversation. Do you want to post the obituary URL so we can take a look at it?

@shecorwe cannot post this URL in public forum because involves names of living people. I have posted a how-to question for historical records in another thread so I'm looking for alternatives to public forum, maybe I will request a Chat with user who attached poorly transcribed/indexed doc to deceased person.

@maryellenstevensbarnes1 Sorry if I sound confused, but you stated in your initial post that "My record-specific issue is a poorly indexed Obituary involving the names of living people marked as deceased." I have never run across an indexed record collection in which the index specifies if the person is living or not. Of course, in some sets it is obvious such as with the primary individual in a death record.
What collection are you looking at in which such a designation is made in the source?
