Pretoria, Maputo, Mozambique

202 records in the collection- Zimbabwe Death Registers, 1890-1977; Index to Death Register, 1892-1977 with Pretoria as the death place standardizes to Mozambique.

I realized that there are many town/city names that occur in many places. But for this situation the default should be Pretoria, Transvaal, South Africa.

Can that be fixed?

    @starkeypd Thank you. That's exactly what we need. We are seeing quite a few of these kinds of issues where the correct place shows on the record details page but the wrong place in search results. My guess is that some clean-up work was done on the collection and it was not a complete fix. We'll get this over to the engineers.

    @starkepd We can report the problem to engineers, but we need the URL of a specific example of the problem to send them. The URL we need is the one that shows a record details page (Here is a link to a record details page in case our jargon is not clear: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:QPZZ-K63N). One example is fine. From that we can get all we need.

    What doesn't show on the records detail is the standardized place that is - Pretoria, Maputo, Mozambique

    It looks like there is more than a couple hundred
