I use British NA for all colonial places before the US revolution, using 4 July 1776 and the same for Canada before 1 Jul 1867. I also have some Caribean entities as needed. Rich in LA CA

Canada, as we now know it, came into existence on July 1, 1867. Starting on February 10, 1841 until that date, what is now Quebec and Ontario was known as the Province of Canada within British North America; Quebec was known as Canada East and Ontario was known as Canada West but these were not official names. From December 26, 1791 until 1841, Quebec was known as Lower Canada and Ontario as Upper Canada, each a separate province within British North America. So far I have opted to use, for example, Quebec City, Canada East, Province of Canada, British North America for the latter period and Quebec City, Lower Canada, British North America for the former period. However, I am not happy with these - they seem unnecessarily long and cumbersome. Does anybody have a better idea? I would appreciate your input. _______________________________ Wayne Martell Victoria, BC, Canada Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp
