How to standardize location Barskewitz und Gollin, Kreis Saatzig, Pommern (West Pomeranian Voivodesh

GKirch

Record number GCW7-FLR. Most of this family have this location listed, but I am unsure which location to choose to standardize the location.

Barskewitz und Gollin, Kreis Saatzig, Pommern (West Pomeranian Voivodeship), Preußen (heute: Polen)

I would appreciate help in making sure the standardized matches the location.

You may wish to go to FamilySearch.org and click on the question mark at the top of the page and then go to the Help Center. Enter "Standardization" in the Search Bar. One of the suggestions is "How do I suggest a new place to FamilySearch places?" Through the process, the parent place may come up. If it doesn't then you can add the place to FamilySearch. Please let me know how this works out for you. PaulaAnn :)

Here are the steps to suggest a new place.

Steps (website)

1. Go to FamilySearch Places and sign in.
2. In the top left, click + Suggest a New Place.
3. Click a place category.  To learn more about a category, click the circle next to the category. A definition appears.  
4. Click Next. 
5. Enter the name of the new place.  
6. In the next field, enter the Parent Place. A parent place is the next larger geographic boundary that includes the place. 
   1. You see place-type hints for the parent. You are not limited to the suggestions.
   2. Click a standardized option.
7. Verify that the Language field reflects the language of the name that you are suggested, rather than the native language of the place. 
8. Click Next. 
9. To help reduce duplicate suggestions, FamilySearch checks to see if the place already exists in our database. If you see the place in the search results, click Select. No further action is necessary.  
10. Click Create Place. 
11. (Optional) Add the geographic Location and the Source Web Address (URL). A place without this information cannot be a parent place to other places. 
12. Add Additional Information to add value to the place and the suggestion. 
13. Click Submit.

Acknowledgement of the submission is not available. We will begin email acknowledgement in the future. When available, you will be able to reply directly to the internal team should you have questions or have feedback.

Thank you for your help and suggestion. A worker at a Family History Center suggested I take out the items in the parenthesis and see if I could find a match there and it worked. I also put the location in the notes on those records. Thank you again for your help!
