Why are Transvaal South Africa marriage records not able to be edited?

The majority are indexed as any other country but South Africa.

This question probably should not have been separated from Indexing Errors in Suggest an Idea and moved to Indexing. It appears to be about marriage records that are already published, not those currently being indexed.

I know that there are many problems with standardized places and the way they are showing up in searches. I suggest you post the question in the Searches section of the Community with a link to one of the images you are questioning. But, I think the short answer is, there is nothing that can be done at this time about these crazy place names.

I have seen @N Tychonievich tagged in posts about these types of problems. Perhaps s/he can provide a great answer.

Hi sharonjennings2, thank-you for contacting the Community. I have sent your question to the Historical Records people.
