Standardized placename for Oost-, West- en Middelbeers, Noord-Brabant, Nederland?

When I enter "Oost-, West- en Middelbeers, Noord-Brabant, Nederland" as a placename; none of the "Standardized Event Place" are even close!

 

What to do?

IF any of what you are trying to enter ARE "Actual" valid 'Place' Names; then, you might want to REQUEST that the "Standards Team" of the "Research/Places" Database of "FamilySearch", ADD them to that database.

.

https://www.familysearch.org/research/places/

.

.

Here are a number of options to REQUEST such:

.

Firstly, a 'Group' in this "Community.FamilySearch" Forum

.

FamilySearch Places

https://community.familysearch.org/s/group/0F93A000000DIHfSAO/familysearch-places

.

Secondly when you access the https://www.familysearch.org/research/places/ database:

.

.

.

.

Thirdly, via direct "E-mail" to: placefeedback@familysearch.org

.

And, ...

.

Here is a "Knowledge Article" in "FamilySearch":

.

How do I request an update to the database of standardized places?

I hope this helps.

Me again.... This is odd.... And may have some bearing on my previous answer.

 

If I go to https://www.familysearch.org/research/places/ and enter "Oost-, West- en Middelbeers, Noord-Brabant, Nederland" (but don't press the enter key yet) then I do see "Oost- West- en Middelbeers, North Brabant, Netherlands" in a drop-down list. The one that you want.

 

But as soon as I hit the magnifying glass icon or hit the Enter-key - I get Noord, Oost and all the rest of the "nothing likes". And it's the same with entering the data in FamilyTree.

 

What worked for me is omitting that first comma and just entering "Oost- West- en Middelbeers, Noord-Brabant, Nederland". That gives the place-name that you need.
