A suggestion I put in (during but near the end of V6) would address this.... I'd like to be able to setup a customized timeline of place locations. This would be something that the genealogist would do for locations, not a database that would be done by a company.... Basically for a location, you could setup start and end dates for a name, including the current name....
So - for my all favorite location (ok, the main place I'm doing research right now...) 1791-1841 Etobicoke, York, Upper Canada, British North America 1841-1 Jul 1867 Etobicoke, York, Canada West, British North America 1 Jul 1867 - Present Etobicoke, York, Ontario, Canada What I suggested, is with that info, if I used the place with a date, it could (with my permission?) correct the name if I put in the wrong one... it might be fun logic - but would be very helpful! With mapping, it could put in the current place name for the search.... On Wed, Jun 25, 2008 at 3:24 PM, RICHARD SCHULTHIES <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > This is actually a worldwide problem.
