For example, if the individual was born and\/or died in LONDON which in a Canadian newspaper  obit would be recognized as LONDON ONTARIO CANADA it is entered as London, KENTUCKY, OHIO, Or CALIFORNIA.  This totally displaces an individual from Canada which in turn will create further problems for researches. Furthermore many of the birth or death dates are incorrect. Also the obits appear in the record hints section on a persons ID page in familysearch. If this persons name is mentioned in another family members obit should it be a spouse, child, sibling, parent, grandparent, aunt, uncle etc etc their obits appear in the record hint section creating much confusion plus an overloaded hint section. Familysearch seems.difficult to contact to resolve problems such as this. I have been a contributor for many years and I am extremely upset that a problems such as this cannot get reported and resolved.
