In Family Tree, what do the map pin icons and exclamation points by place-names mean?
Article Id: 1271
April 20, 2020
On the Family Tree person page (on the FamilySearch website), different icons appear next to the the names of places to indicate how and whether the place is standardized.
· Pin: The place is standardized. The user-entered place-name is identical to the standard.
· No pin: The place is standardized. The user-entered place-name contains additional information, has used a historically correct alternate spelling, or is in a different format than the standard. The user has attached a standard with less information or with a different alternate spelling to the user entered place-name.
Red exclamation point: The place is not standardized.

If the place name is correct and looks like a standardized place name and has a red exclamation point there is no need to change the place name. Put the curser at the end of the place name and enter a space with the space bar. A standardized place name or more than one place name will appear in the next line. You can choose the one that is the most correct.

I have been having to correct all 1920 Summit, Ohio Censuses. It is a common standardization, 1920 Summit, Ohio, United States, but everyone is coming up with a red exclamation mark.

When you correct a place name and you do not select the place name that is listed below the line that you just corrected it will come up with a red exclamation mark if you just enter the line that you just corrected.
This does not sound logical it is just the way the system works.

Don't think that I should have to correct at all. The source-linker is bringing over the Summit, Ohio, United States as a residence, and it should automatically be corrected, or standardized when it is added as a 1920 residence in "Other Information." Computers are to help make less work, not more work. A County, and a State, is a very simple residence address, and should easily be handled by a computer. I should not have to correct anything with just a simple residence address. Time and time again, I have had to correct this simple residence address, in "Other Information," while working in Ohio genealogy.
