"British North America" or "Colonial America" wouldn't differentiate between
areas controlled at different times by the English, French, Spanish, Dutch,
or even the Russians. Even the borders and names of the British Colonies
changed over time, e.g., "East Jersey," "West Jersey," "New Jersey." Very
confusing. I haven't been consistent. I think I'll have to add a North
American history book or a timeline for each present state to my genealogy
library.

Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] What would you call "America" in 1666?
I don't know if this is correct or not, I have always used BNA for Britsh
North America and when the Colonies won their independence I then enter
the location as USA.
