Row #11052 'Silesia' was geocoded to Silesia, Montana, USA (45.5565/-108.8413). Meyers puts the Hauptstadt of the province of Schlesien at Breslau, 51.1120/17.0358, and the tree's sibling rows #10008 'Silesia, Germany' and #3936 'Silesia, Prussia' already sit at 51.1035/17.0396, 1.5 km away. Pinning the province at its own capital removes the false US location. #11052 is reported as a merge candidate into #10008; the guidance is to fix a mis-geocoded canonical before merging into it, which is what this does.
