Indexing: Event Place incorrectly captured
Good day
Please update the Event Place for the Membership records at the following link:
Example:
Robertson is not in Bothaville, Free State. Robertson is in Western Cape.
Kimberley is not in Western Australia, Australia but in Northern Cape
It is not Worcestershire in England, but Worcester in Cape Colony, South Africa
Richmond is not in Virginia, United States but in Cape Colony, South Africa
Barkly is not in Queensland, Australia, but in Cape Colony, South Africa
Laingsburg is not in Sciota Township, Shiawassee, Michigan, United States, but in Cape Colony, South Africa
Elliot is not in Fayette, West Virginia, United States but in the Cape Colony, South Africa
Hanover is not in Prussia, German Empiere but in Western Cape.
The Middelburg in this list is not the one in Transvaal, but in the Cape Colony, South Africa
All these Membership records are from the same collection for the same Church. They are all from Towns in the Cape Colony.
Please, whoever did the Event Place should realize they cannot just pick a town in any Country if the Church for the Membership list is in the Cape Province in South Africa. At least use the correct map.
