Germany Deaths and Burials - FamilySearch Historical Records/Known Issues

Known Issues
Question #1: Records that were previously viewed in this collection may not currently be available. Where can these missing records be found? Answer #1: If a record is no longer available in this collection, try searching the International Genealogical Index (IGI) page (https://www.familysearch.org/search/collection/igi), selecting both the Community Indexed IGI and Community Contributed IGI record sets.

Question #2: Indexed records that include Batch Number: B03683-7 (Hannover, Niedersachsen, Germany), also include the wrong film number 185158 (Heiraten 1907-1915). What is the correct film number? Answer #2: Film 185139: Tote 1817-1861 (Evangelische Kirche. Kreuzkirche Sankt Crucis Hannover).

Question #3: When searching in the collection, I found my ancestors listed with a death place of Beidendorf, Mecklenburg-Schwerin, Germany. I believe Kottweiler-Schwanden, Bayern, Germany is the correct death place. How can I search when the death place is wrong? Answer #3: It is possible that Kottweiler-Schwanden, Bayern, Germany is the correct death place. You will have to check the source film found in the record detail page to verify the locality.

Question #4: The search results for Batch B93115-2 are for a death place of Holzquenz, Schwaben, Bavaria. Is that correct? Answer #4: The Film 816573 associated with Batch B93115-2, lists the correct spelling as Holzgünz, also referred to as Holzgünz, Schwaben, Bayern, Germany.
