'''Question #4''': Why are divorce records mixed in
with
marriage records? <br>'''Answer #4'''
:
In the original records
,
divorce records were occasionally recorded along with the marriage records.
+
*Records
indexed with the wrong bride: Because most of the records in collection have multiple records on an image, it
is
easy for an indexer to mix the records.
−
+
*In
the browse point 004541329
,
the indexer transcribed the marriage date as 1835 rather than 1935. These include images 929-936.
As a result,
the estimated birth years are
also
incorrect.

'''Question #5''': I am trying to find an image of a marriage record that I know can be found in the Luzerne County
,
PA Courthouse. Can you tell me how to find the record?<br>'''Answer #5'''

The
records
on the right side of the images 379-388 in the browse point 004833171 (
DGS
4833171)
,
which is from Luzerne County, appear to
have been
missed in the indexing and therefore not in the Collection online. They are on the original microfilm #2224854 which can be ordered (See [[Ordering Microfilm or Microfiche|Ordering Microfilm and Microfiche]]) into a local [https
:

'''Question #6:''' I believe my ancestor has been
indexed with the wrong bride
. Can I verify this?<br>'''Answer #6
:
'''
Because most of the records in collection have multiple records on an image, it
was
easy for an indexer to mix the records.
If you find inconsistencies, it is always best to look at the original record on the image. It will be your best source.<br>
+
−

−
'''Question #7''': I am finding indexed dates outside the parameters of this collection. The dates for my ancestor do not match other records we have for them. Can you help me with this?<br>'''Answer #7''': There are a series of images in
the browse point
'''
004541329
''' (DGS 4541329) where
the indexer transcribed the marriage date as 1835 rather than 1935. These include images 929-936.

the estimated birth years are incorrect
as well

The correct years can be verified
on the
actual image.<br>

'''Question #8''': I see records indexed with a non-existing place
of
'''Carbon''', Wedstmoreland, Pennsylvania, United States. What is
the
correct event place?<br> '''Answer #8''': All records associated with Film '''1289274''' (DGS 4460969), should have been
indexed

'''Question #9''': There are many
records
indexed
with
an Event Place containing some variation of '''Washington''' (State, D.C., or County).
