gazetteers

What problem does it solve?

Gazetteers turn human place strings into structured place matches for genealogy workflows, so you can reliably resolve things like "Roskilde, Danmark" to coordinates and a correct hierarchy.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Build and extend place gazetteers for countries, admin levels, and boundary layers, including language/alias gazetteers.
• Debug and verify place matching behavior by understanding the resolver pipeline, normalization, hierarchy scoring, and merge contract.
• Maintain data integrity and reproducibility by rebuilding deterministic outputs from canonical source datasets without hand-editing derived JSON.

Quick Start

Use the gazetteers skill to diagnose why a specific place query resolves incorrectly and to determine which build script or normalization rule needs to be changed.
