Charles Biersdorfer (biersd001cha) - shown as Clarence in Baseball Reference - Found a third as well. All have been Clarenced.

Almost all the Cubans in the minor league database (until 1935 where I'm at anyway) shown as American. For reference see Jose Montes de Oca (montes049jos), Tomas Romanach (romana049tom), Joe Olivares (olivar001jos), Tommy De La Cruz (delacr001tom)

Jack Lelivelt (lelivja01) - shown as American not Dutch =NETHERLANDS

Olaf Henriksen (henriol01) - shown as American not Danish = DENMARK

Ulrich Ruell (ruell-001ulr) in BR as Foot Ruell from Canada not America Foot added as nickname - two more Ruells found and combined

Edward Schutzle (schutl001edw) shown as American not 'United Kingdom' (could we default to English just to get close than him being American?)

Marty Krug (krugma01 and krug--002mar) shown as American not German and as 'African'. I think this is two different players combined.The 2 Marty Krugs played 40 years apart - thw African one is named Henry

I think Ballplayer Breaux (breaux001---) and Russell Breaux (breaux001rus) are the same guy fixed

Ballplayer Overholser (overho001---) shown in BR as Harold Overholser fixed

Ballplayer Klontz (klontz002---) looks to be the same guy as BR's Dutch Klontz (klontz001---) fixed

Jack Quinn (quinnja01) shown as American not Slovakian = NO SUCH CURRENT COUNTRY

Hoseph Aughenbaugh (aughen001hos) shown in BR as Joseph fixed

Henry Peploski (peplos001hen) shown as American not Polish = POLAND

Ballplayer Agricola (agrico001---) is likely Herb Agricola (agrico001her) fixed

Ballplayer Heatwole (heatwo001---) is likely Kirk Heatwole (https://www.baseball-reference.com/r...d=heatwo001kir) fixed

Bobby Estalella (estale002rob) shown as American not Cuban

Dutch Schesler (schesl001cha) shown as American not German - possibly different players minor and major?

Tony Welzer (welzer001ant) shown as American not German

Dutch Schliebner (schlie002fre) shown as US (and as born in Berlin, NH) not German
I will go through these over the next couple of days and post my findings here.

If a city/country pair is not in the world.dat file like Berlin/GDR the game defaults to a similarly named city in the USA

Lukas just received the list of the missing 1,842 USA birthplaces today. I did not send him any international birthplaces as many can be fixed by changing the country abbrev to match its current name.

started wth zaire which is now south Africa and am about halfway through the country list

NOW FINISHED WITH THIS LIST. Anything left cannot be fixed without world.dat additions.
