This entry is not editable, so I'm not sure if anything can be done. Maryhill is in Cook County, Illinois and not New Zealand. All Saints Cemetery in DesPlaines is also indexed to United Kingdom. I looked through the message boards and couldn't find a way to correct this. Thank you!

    @bethabrand
    @SerraNola and I have been discussing these problems for many months.

    Unfortunately, it's an enormous undertaking for the engineers to repair the place name issues that are present, not just in Cook County vital records, but across most record sets.

    We, the users, cannot edit the Cook County records because the images are restricted to viewing at FamilySearch Centers and affiliate libraries.
    Hope this helps.
