Hi Team,

Following on from last year's release of the Rhodesian Voting Registration Records (Project A), several locations were added for Southern Rhodesia (some good, some bad).

There is one location in particular that comes up time and time again but wasn't added for some reason.

Enkeldoorn in Mashonaland South is not available as a standardised location. Can this be added please as a selectable item for the period up to 1980 (after which it became Chivhu, Zimbabwe).

    The best way to suggest corrections to the Places database is using the Places tool: https://www.familysearch.org/research/places/?pagenum=1&pagesize=20

    Be prepared to wait a while, though. I got a reply from the places team just today to a suggestion I submitted last August.
