New Castle, PA, is in Lawrence County across the State from Schuylkil County, PA. This error is in multiple records. If there is a way that you can find and replace every instance of this location, please do so.

Also, please remove New Castle, Lawrence County, Ohio. This is another incorrect and non-existent place error that someone made that is now embedded in your software/ data.

There has got to be a way to correct these en masse.

    The location problem is persistent throughout every collection. I have read that the engineers are working on trying to get it resolved. These are not indexing issues. This has been going on for several months.
