Please reassign location

Hi! :)

please forward to the relevant team, @Maile L

This set https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CS89-5736-8?view=index&action=view has documents from the municipality of Popayán, in the departmento del Cauca ("Notaría Primera de Popayán, Cauca, Colombia").

However,

1) it has been wrongly labeled as coming from departamento del "Valle del Cauca" -- a different location.

2) Apparently, records have been assigned a place of "Valle del Cauca, Colombia" for both birth and death, by default. Please consider giving "Cauca, Colombia" to death by default (and leave the birth place blank).

Thank you a million!

Dear Juan:

It is also possible to suggest a new place of standardization. Here is the link to the Knowledge Article that gives the instructions: https://www.familysearch.org/en/help/helpcenter/article/how-do-i-request-a-new-place-in-the-database-of-standardized-places. PaulaAnn

I will report this for correction. In the future, you can submit reports for errors like this using the Feedback tab that is on the left of the record images above. Please see comments here and here for details on how this works best.

Hi Bulfinch, this is very good info. In this particular case, "Valle del Cauca, Colombia" is a standard place already. However I have another case in mind were creating a new place can help.

cheers,
