Bill:

If you search at RootsWeb WorldConnect for any of the Founding Fathers
you'll see many examples of how others do it.  (Try Thomas Jefferson with
wife Martha Wayles.)  Personally I think it looks a little silly to list
someone born in the 1600's with a USA birthplace and/or a county that didn't
exist.  Ani-Map is a big help in identifying the proper place names but the
maps don't begin until 1643.  Another good source is Wikipedia.

I agree, but I have never seen where someone uses the colonial place naming.
All the place naming that I have seen for colonial times use town, county,
state, USA.
Can someone show me a website that use the colonial names for places?
