I hope this is a good place to post this. For <https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:6CTR-STNN>, this name is indexed incorrectly, and the system does not permit the right correction. This record shows that Mary E Lamoreaux was born 6 April 1848, but it doesn't say where. This is a cemetary record in Luzerne Co. PA, that's where she's buried, not where she was born. The indexing says born there. When I edit the birth location, there's no way to just delete the location.

blank => BZZZT!

USA or Europe => BZZZT!

Planet Earth => BZZZT!

There is simply no way to put it right.

I see that this link isn't working but I don't have time to fiddle with it.

I figured out why the link didn't work: The last two characters, ">," are not supposed to be part of the link, but are included as part of it.

Either way, I can't really help. I've run into the same issue you did. I put in some feedback, so hopefully they'll get that sorted out.

https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:6CTR-STNN The image from which this index was taken is not available to be viewed, therefore editing the index is not allowed.
