It’s been a little while since we posted anything from Ancestry.com. Sometimes one wonders about the attention to detail in the database descriptions. “Germany, Select Births and Baptisms, 1558-1898” only references “civil registration records from Chile.”
There’s probably a geography lesson in there somewhere.
The end result is that users should always determine what they are searching.
Hopefully this is a copy and paste error in the data entry department. Hopefully.

A geography lesson or a history lesson. It could include records of Germans who migrated to Chile, especially if large numbers of them settled together.
I wondered about that before I wrote it, but decided the size of the database precluded that. And my contact at Ancestry.com indicated that Chile was entered in error.
