Auto-Standardization Error - Finnås, Hordaland, Norway

Gordon Collett

It's been quite a while since lines have let me to this record set so I might have reported this before:

Example: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:68Q4-VV6K

This parish register covers all of Finnås clerical district, Hordaland, Norway which consists of four local parishes: Bremnes, Bømlo, Moster, and Sveio.

The record name for this register is: Church book from Finnås parish 1836-1850 (1218P)

The original event place name was incorrectly set as Finnås, Sveio, Hordaland, Norge. This should not have included the Sveio part as that is only a quarter of the area covered.

The auto-standardization routine compounded the error when it standardized the original event place to just Sveio, Hordaland, Norge. These should be been standardized to Finnås, Hordaland, Norge.

First, apologies that this post did not get a response for so long.

I see a few items sent for place corrections in the Norway Church Books record collection, but not this specific on. I'll get it moved over to the folks who can fix it. Thanks for your clear explanation of the problem and for providing the record details page URL--makes it so easy for us to see the issue and be able to explain it to the other team.
