    3. I wouldn't go there at all. That list has NOT been corrected since the beginning of the nFS. It has very very low priority for the engineers, and as such it falls to US to do the right thing. Good grief is what I find "Saarland Bezirk" "NO" such usage within Germany. Cemetery names are listed - only for Utah. Any other states, sorry! I can't stomach this one "Britten, Merzig, Kingdom of Prussia, Germany" That's very very wrong name arrangement. The list is compiled from all submissions for Temple ordinances, meaning a lot of bad and wrong entries. You can bypass them very easy. Learn how to force the site to accept correct and specific names. for USA, enter the name but do not type in "United States" at all. (USA is added automatically.) To add cemetery name, do not enter it yet, enter where the cemetery was. Says Milwaukee, Milwaukee, Wisconsin - then select it if it's available, then go back to the beginning of the line in the box, type in "Glen Oaks Cemetery, " (pay attention to the , being there) Click "Done" button. In case of popup menu blocking the button, click anywhere on white space below then click the button to save. Yes, you can force nFS to accept correct spellings and places. individual/single family gedcoms are best way to defeat the arcane list. W. David Samuelsen
