I thought I was crazy.. Ancestry Indexing Error..

Browsing through Drouin Ste-Melanie in, what I thought was, 1863... But when I couldn't find what I knew should have been there I noticed I was looking 1864. It's been a while since I have browsed Ste-Melanie and I don't remember it being messed up like this before but I think it must have been and I just want to note that the spine date matches each individual entry date so it is an ancestry error.

I have to chuckle...

Looking up a Drouin record to confirm the information I had found at BMS2000 for the marriage of  Moise Prud'Homme and Marie Adeline Philomene Desrosiers. I know they were married 8 June 1858 at St-Joseph de Lanoraie in Berthier county Quebec so I input most of that information into an ancestry search and this is how I found them indexed..

Name:      Moise Shunhouse
[Moise Prudhomme]
Spouse:     Adeline Kilominta Desrosiers
Event Year:     1858
Event:     Mariage (Marriage)
Religion:     Catholique
Place of Worship or Institution:     Lanoraie
Province:     Québec (Quebec)

Close enough I guess, roflmao.  Who the heck do they have indexing these things??
