    Computer generated history is not correct.

    It has used a Maori Iwi (tribe) name as a location in New Zealand.

    Waitaha is a Maori Iwi. Please remove this.

    @StaceyHertnon, the timeline shows the background value (called the "standardized" place in FS parlance). You can suggest corrections to that database on the Places page (https://www.familysearch.org/research/places/).

    I am sorry but the page you made featuring my grandmother is useless.

    There is nothing there that I had not already entered, so it's really a waste of time.

    Thanks for trying anyway....

    If you change from the new person page default About tab to the Details tab you can view/edit a Brief Life History and then override the computer-generated one on the About page:

    If you do not find the About page useful - using the other tabs as your default will allow you ignore it - until you click About again.

    Anything mentioning computer-generated should be taken with a grain of salt - but I do find the features interesting.
