ERROR - placename standardization

Lars van Ravenzwaaij · December 2, 2023

@N Tychonievich another example https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:QLFB-SQ6N. In this case "Zuidhorn, Friesland, Netherlands" should be "Noordhorn, Groningen, Netherlands".

Better would be "Noordhorn, Zuidhorn, Groningen, Netherlands" but this standardization seems to be missing within the placename database.

Hi. I was told this was entered with your other reports that same week, @Lars van Ravenzwaaij. I am sorry that a reply was not posted.

@Lars van Ravenzwaaij do you know if this issue has been resolved?

@Rhonda Budvarson I don't think so. This error shows on every source for this place (and a lot of others too).

As I've understood it, the back log for these errors is huge.
