Please provide standardized place for the following location:

Aberdare Cemetery, Aberdare, Aberdare Parish, Glamorgan, Wales, United Kingdom

I would have thought that "Aberdare Parish" is an unnecessary (and incorrect) inclusion as part of any standardized placename. Also, there is no time period mentioned here, but I believe "Glamorgan" would only apply up to 1974, when the county (where Aberdare is situated) became "Mid Glamorgan".

Apart from the omission of the "Aberdare Cemetery" prefix, the current standard place names offered in the drop-down menu seem to cover all periods of time to the present. However, "Aberdare, Glamorgan, Wales, United Kingdom, 1801-Present" should be removed as this standardized name is only correct up till 1974, and there is already an "Aberdare, Glamorgan, Wales, United Kingdom, 1801-1974" option. There are also options to cover "Aberdare, Rhondda Cynon Taf, Wales, United Kingdom, 1996-Present" and "Aberdare, Mid Glamorgan, Wales, United Kingdom, 1974-1996".

Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately, I do not recall the person's file where I was working.

Could FamilySearch add an area on the webpage to the ID number of person in question? I've worked on numerous files since my question.

Again, thank you!

I think the original request by 2008 rj has been addressed. This place can be found at:

As for the notes from Paul W, they were for the UK, not Australia.

As for the request: "Could FamilySearch add an area on the webpage to the ID number of person in question?". I am not really sure what is being asked here.

I do not understand your comments, or your suggestion that the issue has been addressed. The request did relate to the Aberdare in Wales, United Kingdom - not the location in New South Wales, Australia that you are referencing in your post.

I have just checked and the cemetery has still not been added as a standard place name, as requested by 2008 rj over a year ago.

The only standard place name to match is still only the town itself:
