FamilySearch has been plugging standardised place-names, which is not
a bad idea but has now gone too far -- their software triest to
automatically substitute "standard" place names for non-standard ones,
but in the process it often inserts a place name that is entirely
wrong and misleading, wand will ruin the usefulness of their
collaborative family tree.
