Answer 1

I recently reached out to correct a location on Family Search and it took a little while, but they respond and corrected the location.  

I made a note in the profile's research notes to remind myself to verify it later via the drop down menu, once FamilySearch made the correction.

Here is how to contact them via the website:

1. Begin at FamilySearch Places - https://www.familysearch.org/research/places/
2. In the search box, enter the place that interests you.
3. Click the appropriate search result.
4. On the right-hand side of the screen, below the map, click Improve This Place.
   • To see the link for Improve This Place, make sure that you are signed in.
5. A box appears with the title "Suggest an Improvement."
   1. Use the drop-down menu to identify what is incorrect or incomplete with the current entry.
   2. Enter a brief description of what needs to be changed or added.
   3. If possible, enter the URL of a website that can be used to validate the new information.
   4. Enter your email, in case more information is needed.
6. Click Submit.

Happy WikiTreeing!

The drop-down location menu is from FamilySearch.  They do sometimes make corrections but you need to make the request on their site.   You don't need to select something from the drop-down, you can just type in the correct location name.
