Missing parish as standardized location

jhagg

I can't find Marum (parish), Skaraborg(county) , Sweden as a standardized location. I also can't find how to add parishes as a standard location. Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks in advance!

The place seems to have the wrong spelling in the FS database: Märum, Västra Götaland, Sweden.

I don't know how to fix this though.

Is this the correct place? https://www.familysearch.org/en/wiki/Marum_Parish,_Skaraborg,_Sweden_Genealogy

It looks like Mapcarta has the incorrect spelling:

What is the relationship between Västra Götaland and Skaraborg?

Is Wikipedia correct?

You can request corrections through the Places group here in Communities: https://community.familysearch.org/en/group/68-familysearch-places You do have to join the group to be able to post.

It looks like the map pointer in the places database is put where someone thought the center of the parish would be. Is that correct or should it be closer to or at the church?

@Gordon Collett Yes, that is the right parish. Skaraborg was a Swedish county that no longer exists. Västra Götaland is a current county that encompasses most of all of Skaraborg and a few other former counties.

Thank you for your help, I will ask for a correction where you suggested.
