Since this question was asked in the Ireland group, highlighting it here, for visibility. The placename algorithm has done a great deal of harm in Irish records. https://community.familysearch.org/en/discussion/156640/how-to-report-an-incorrect-county-in-a-family-search-record#latest

    @Áine Ní Donnghaile Thanks. Since I'm not part of that group, I can't reply there. But I can get the issue reported if someone will post a specific example.

    Here's one at random.

    William O'Donnell, birth registered 1879 in County Tipperary has been slotted into County Kildare. https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:QPHP-Q4K1
