1950 Census Puerto Rico wrong place name

HLi2

The 1950 census record for Isabela shows an incorrect event place name for all indexed entries - Mora, Natchitoches, Louisiana, United States when the location should be Mora, Isabella, Puerto Rico. A example listing is https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:6F6H-G2NF?lang=en. Could this please be fixed?

You'd think after all those tries, it might have landed on the right one!

I do have several reports of place name errors with Puerto Rico as well as other places in the 1950 Census. I will add this one.

Maybe it was tired by that time and just sat down?😎

that’s definitely a place name mix-up on FamilySearch’s part. The 1950 Census records for Mora barrio in Isabela, Puerto Rico are incorrectly indexed as Mora, Natchitoches, Louisiana. According to the deep research summary, this error stems from FamilySearch's place name standardization system auto-matching "Mora" to the wrong location. You can fix single records using the “Edit” option, but for a broader fix, I recommend posting in the FamilySearch Community so staff can flag the issue — just like they did for LaSalle County, IL.
