There are some significant errors in the new probate/wills records for Victoria, Australia.  Example: James Neilson died 1859 in Tarraville, Victoria, Australia becomes Edward Roche died 1859 in Lauraville, Baltimore, USA.  James is my ancestor and I would like his records (and others from Tarraville who are misreported as Lauraville, Baltimore) to be correct.

    @N Tychonievich This would appear to be yet another instance of the placename corrector gone off the rails. https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:6KCR-S8YL

    @Hsj Thank you for reporting the inaccurate place in the Australia, Victoria Wills, Probate, and Administration Files collection. We will get this over to the group that is working on the inaccurate places issue.
