Could the following place name be standardized in order to agree with BillionGraves Index:

Hello,

 

Typically, in Pennsylvania, standardized forms of township names include the word "Township" in them:

FYI

.

"FamilySearch", DOES NOT; and, should not, NEED, to agree with "Billion Graves".

.

"FindAGrave" and "BillionGraves" are not always correct with the way they list Cemeteries locations.

.

They are NOT the "Definitive" answer/point for Cemeteries locations.

.

I am not saying that what "FamilySearch" has in the "...Research/Places..." ( https://www.familysearch.org/research/places/ ) database is correct; but, "FamilySearch", DOES NOT; and, should not, NEED, to agree with "Billion Graves" or "FindAGrave".

.

Just my thoughts.

I've never been there, but have also seen (online) other cities named for this cemetery (Clarks Summit and Scranton). Perhaps mail go to Clark Summit?

It's confusing so I use two EASY sources: USGS and/or Find a Grave. (Both say South Abbington Township).

 

Right or wrong, that's the way many of us novices do it.
