Another instance of placename change:

Both are New York records, for the birth of the same child, but one has been converted to a Georgia record.

The NYS birth index that has been converted to Georgia: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:6F2F-W1YG

    @Áine Ní Donnghaile, sorry not N Tychonievich, but I'll make sure that this gets into the queue for the engineers to look at. Seems that this is a problem for the Collection, New York, Birth Indexes outside of New York City, 1881-1942. I count just over 1,000 of these standardization errors where the birth place has been changed to Georgia.

    Thanks for pointing this one out.
