Thank you for the information. Many times we see places that need to be fixed or changed. Sometimes guests have better information than what is seen. Please see the article attached that gives direction for you to correct places in FamilySearch. If you continue to see a problem, please let us know.

This is good info for updating event place.

What I need is a way to suggest a new place. A edit would remove correct info.

For instance.

Mansfield, Spink, South Dakota, United States is in place names.

I just moved to this place. The main road which is the county line goes through this town.

Most of it is in Spink county, but some is in Brown county. About 1/4 of the town.

Please add Mansfield, Brown, South Dakota, United States.
