Illogical auto updates for Cook County, IL death event locations for Bohemian National burials
Cook County, Illinois death records are being auto updated with non-logical event locations for persons buried in Bohemian National Cemetery.
I think the "National" in the records is used to AI auto index a incorrect event location.
Here are two examples, but there are many more :

National, Monongalia, West Virginia, United States is a irrational event location for two month old infant death who was born in Chicago.

National, Carbon, Utah, United States is again grossly incorrect.

These records cannot be manually updated, either.
Whatever FamilySearch is doing with generative AI to try to "improve" these records, please turn it off (and undo) or make sure it works correctly before corrupting all these records.

@StevenVondrak This is a well-known and much-discussed issue.
It's not a generative AI issue, BTW, but a problem that occurred during the migration to the current storage platform.
I know that the issue with Chicago-area records is already on @SerraNola's very long list of issues reported and pending repair.0 -
@StevenVondrak Yes, the cemetery standardization bug is one of our documented categories of place name errors and this collection is listed, but thank you for reporting.
