Error Report - 1850 Census Greene County, Georgia
Searching for a member of my family, and I could not find him by a name search. Decided to switch to browse in the county of Greene, where I knew he lived. I already had the exact location from the same census record from other sites.
I found that the entire county of Greene has been categorized as a subdirectory of the non-existent county of Green.
Could this PLEASE be escalated to engineers for correction?
Thank you.

Dear Áine Ní Donnghaile
Please provide me with the name and personal identification number of your family member, so I can investigate your question further.

The name and PID of my family member is NOT the issue. The issue is that the entire county is filed under a wrong location.
Thank you for escalating to the engineers, as requested.

@Áine Ní Donnghaile Just for clarification purposes--I am assuming you are reporting the inaccurate waypoints/browsepoints for Greene County, Georgia? On a record details page for one of the entries at that waypoint (https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:MZYG-TYW) I see that the event place has been corrected correctly by the auto-standardization project to Greene, Georgia, United States. So this does not fall under that particular kind of error.
I do see that, when you browse the images and walk through the waypoints, after you click Greene for the county, it provides an additional "Township or other division of county" and shows Green county. I can submit a request for that additional waypoint to be removed. Can't say how long it might take for you to see a change. I suspect it will not be given a very high priority since the Green county waypoint does in fact take you to the records for Greene County.

Yes, I am reporting that Greene has been relegated to a sub-section of Green, when Green does not exist. That waypoint makes no sense.
Thank you.
