New FamilySearch place

Marcel Blais

Hello FamilySearch place team,

I have tried to add a new FamilySearch place in Ontario, Canada

**Saint Joseph, Orleans, Ottawa-Carleton, Ontario, Canada**

I have this message ?

**"This name contains an invalid character. Display names can only contain letters."**

I put parenthesis and FamilySearch time line number below to help the FamilySearch new place team to add the right biger place of Saint Joseph

I know that we cannot enter it in the field of the new place to add.

1830-1841 Saint Joseph d’Orleans, (Carleton, Haut-Canada, Amérique coloniale britannique 5954649)

1841-1867 Saint Joseph, (Orleans, Carleton, Canada-Ouest, Amérique coloniale britannique 9159696)

1867-1969 Saint Joseph, (Orleans, Carleton, Ontario, Canada 9159697)

1869-2001 Saint Joseph, (Orleans, Ottawa-Carleton, Ontario, Canada 9159698)

2001-today Saint Joseph, (Orleans, Ottawa-Carleton, Ontario, Canada 9159695)

So my question is why I have this invalid character message with:

**Saint Joseph, Orleans, Ottawa-Carleton, Ontario, Canada**

**Can you fix that problem ?**

I have tried in French and English

**From Marcel**

If not, it's the commas that are causing the problem. Just put in Saint Joseph, not the entire name in that first box.
