There are two distinct places in Netherlands called Berghem.
The linked FamilySearch record refers to Berghem, Limburg, Netherlands. This corresponds to the standardized place: https://www.familysearch.org/research/places/?focusedId=1819220
There is also a place called Berghem, Oss, North Brabant, Netherlands (about 100 miles north of the other Berghem). Here is its standardized place: https://www.familysearch.org/research/places/?focusedId=11825791
But if you drill down to the actual openarch.nl record that is the original source for the FamilySearch record, it becomes clear that the Berghem for the original record is clearly in North Brabant, which is the region for the Berghem in Oss. So @mhawner1 is correct -- the linked FamilySearch record refers to the wrong Berghem.
This FamilySearch record is not editable, so someone from the Records team will need to fix it so that it refers to Berghem, Oss, North Brabant, Netherlands.

@mhawner1 Than you for alerting us to the error in place standardization. We have sent the information over to the group that is working to get these kinds of things fixed. Unfortunately, we are not able to predict how long it might take for corrections to be in place.
