need standardized location added
Hello, If I'm posting this request in the wrong location, please forward it to the correct department, or inform me on where to enter this request.
I discovered that the birth location of my deceased ancestor is not in the standardized location database, and it appears that it could be legitimately added. The town name would be "Bullochville, Meriwether, Georgia, United States", with a specific timeframe in which it existed. After Googling Bullochville, I discovered the web page: https://warmspringsga.com/history-of-bullochville-warm-springs/ that explains that the town of Warm Springs was initially incorporated under the name of "Bullochville" in 1893, and then renamed to "Warm Springs" in 1924. Could a standardized location for Bullochville be added to the database with a entry following it such as "Town, 1893-1924", or "Village, 1893-1924"?
Along with this addition, I just noticed that the 'Warm Springs" location in Family Search shows that it existed from "1928-present". This could be edited to "1924-present", if the referenced webpage is considered reliable information. It appears that the Wikipedia page for "Warm Springs" also states the same year but I couldn't see a reference this specific entry.
If this addition could be made, please alert my account so that I can update this ancestor from Warm Springs to Bullochville. Thanks!
