Couple of questions to the informed crowd here.... I am working to reconcile a large number of European place name citations in a fairly large Legacy file (30,000+ individuals) between currently accepted naming conventions and older or alternate spelling and language differences. A simple clear example is the old American spelling of the Ukrainian town "Lvov" which on most current maps is Lviv or L'viv.
Question: Can anyone tell me what the source was for the Legacy Geo Location Database names? Is there an standard academic source(s) against which that list is published? For example: The US Geological Survey database, or some other world atlas(es)? If the spelling standardization is a Millenium Corp. construct, is there a listing of the transliteration guidelines used in building these lists? Thanks for any insights David M.
