    @N Tychonievich Another instance of placename standardization corruption. https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:6F8Y-LL4X Please and thanks.

    @Brett6271 The clue that this is a placename corruption issue, rather than an indexing issue, is the mention of Event Place (Original).

    @Brett6271 Thank you for reporting the error in place standardization these South Africa parish records. I have reported the error to the team that is working to correct these kinds of problems. We are not able to predict how long it will be for the error to be corrected. We apologize for the problem.
