If you type "Nantucket, MA" as a location in FS. The first option that shows is "Nantucket, Nantucket, Nantucket, Massachusetts, United States" This is incorrect. It should be just "Nantucket, Nantucket, Massachusetts, United States".


How to remove "Nantucket x3" from the selection of names available?

    That's the Places project, which has a separate site. Locate the incorrect place name and submit a note about it.

    I found what is probably the place name you are seeing: https://www.familysearch.org/research/places/?searchTypeaheadInputText=Nantucket%20nantucket,%20nantucket,%20massachuss&text=Nantucket%20nantucket,%20nantucket,%20massachuss&focusedId=8333332

    Under the map, on the right is a little pencil icon. Click that to add the correction.
