I guessed that, but the FamilySearch and other transcripts for a specific location, will have a date range of many years, and especially in the Germanic lands, the 'town' may have been traded/conquered/abandoned/sold multiple times during the time frame. That is what I was trying to advise to get more reaserch in. A good example in USA is, as the British colonies, expanded accross the continent, all layers of government were constantly being discected to smaller areas. In my family I have a town which was found in 3 different states (while my family was there), and 13 different counties. The Central European area has similar problems. I use Animap for tracking the USA places, and am waiting for the equivalent in Europe. It may be out there. Rich in LA CA

When entering the German city of Edenkoben, it returns as Edenkoben/Bayern/Germany. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of RICHARD SCHULTHIES Sent: Thursday, June 05, 2008 3:30 AM To: LegacyUserGroup@legacyfamilytree.com Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] German Locations Remember that the actual data in FamilySearch was submitted (unchecked) by humans who didn't know they were making mistakes. My best example is someone born in New York City in 1550. Not even New Nederland.

The town name is Edenkoben. According to several places I checked, though, Edenkoben is in the state of Rhineland-Palatinate but the Family Search website says Bayern (Bavaria). -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of GeoSci Sent: Wednesday, June 04, 2008 9:58 AM To: Legacy User Group Subject: [LegacyUG] German Locations Was given the following as a location from a relative: Evangelisch-Reformierta, Kirche, Edenkoben, Pfalz, Bayern, Germany Any idea how to put it so the mapping progrom will map it?
