1870 Census event place is incorrect
The place shown is Pennsylvania, but when you open the image, the actual event place is Albemarle County, Virginia. I have found the event place has been incorrectly represented more frequently. https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:MFL8-V56

a search by folder# 004269715 or film# 000552114 -- looks like 32,000+ reside at Osborne Cemetery;
a search of the collection: United States Census 1870 for: place: Orange, Franklin, Massachusetts, United States and Year 1870 -- looks like 209,000+ reside at Osborne Cemetary

(i had seen some Essex, Essex, Massachusetts events show up in Spring Street Cemetery, Essex, Essex, Massachusetts, but it was only one or two -- not everybody in the set)
