Same place spelt different ways – can I fix them all?

Yes – use Known places, in Tidy up in Settings. Give the right spelling once and it's put right everywhere on the tree, with the original kept on each record. For example, Peterboro, Peterborough and P'boro can all become Peterborough in one go. Just one place spelt wrong? You can also fix the spelling from the map.

Where to find it

  • Settings, bottom row, far right

    Only people with the "Settings" tick.
