    @dontiknowyou Thank you. We will report the mis-match between search results and the record details page.

    @dontiknowyou We can report the inaccurate place, but first we need to know what the correct place is and what sources you have to help us see that as the correct birthplace. Can you please provide this information?

    It is all here in this discussion already. As you can see on the URL and in the screenshots above here in this discussion, the birthplace on the historical record is indexed Newport, Rhode Isl. but the Search result page shows Newport, Wales, United Kingdom. That is the Search engine applying an incorrect standard.

    Also, but this is a tangent and I think not relevant, the historical record is linked to a PID and the PID is very well sourced.
