    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.
