County/City Lookup Database is Terribly Flawed
For the 1950 Census, PLEASE fix the locality database for searching below the State Level.
Whatever Database is being used for place names must have been made in "1800." Yes, I said "1800."
For Pennsylvania, I cannot find almost all the towns or townships, I want to review. I have found some, but very few. I type in a town name, such as my Home town... which appears in all Census 1790-1950, but it does not come up as a suggested town to choose..
I have been wanting to review by town and township all along, but have NOT, because of whatever ridiculous locality database FamilySearch is using for the 1950 Census..
Why not use the locality database for the States as is used to suggest place names in Family Tree, or FamilySearch Catalog?
Not being able to find my town, and other towns and townships in Lancaster and York Counties, Pennsylvania is the only reason I have not been reviewing for the past 2-3 months. Probably lots of others have not been doing Family Review because they want to review by locality and cannot find the cities/towns or townships they are looking for.
Fix the locality problem.... in "Search by County and City," then I will review.
Thank you.

@Elmer, I just saw your post in another thread.. I now know counties of Lancaster and York Counties. Could you please give me particular towns and townships that you are looking for? Engineering are aware there are some issues with place names, but we need what those are to be able to investigate further.
Thank you.
