Profiles Lawford-211 and PHILIPS-1604 were incorrectly assigned to the York Region, Ontario Category.  This has now been corrected and any reference to Category: York Region, Ontario has been deleted from their profile.  However the software still  lists them as being in the York Region, Ontario category on this page: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Category:York_Region%2C_Ontario.  The Suggestions list does not recognise that the two profiles are in fact correct.

The category that was deleted had a full stop at the end, so it was [[Category:York Region, Ontario.]] You have the [[Category:York Region, Ontario]] embedded in the biography, so it still shows the profile with the category tagged. That's not a bug. ;-) (look right after the migrating ancestor sticker markup in edit mode.)

OK, I found it embedded in the Migrating Ancestor sticky.

Thanks.
