Jerry, If that is the case, then as you have determined, the option is to leave the county blank or turn off the county verifier. You could also submit a feature request to have the county verifier added to the "Exclude from Potential Problems" screen so that you can turn it off per individual. Russ

While desiring to keep historical accuracy, we have chosen to do so in the adjacent note fields. That way, we don't have to use different locations for Massachusetts and Massachusetts Bay Colony, for example. We simply explain the historical accuracy in the notes which are part of the same person's record. --Jerry / http://www.MerriamFamilyTree.org On 02/10/2011 02:06 PM, Genealogy mail wrote: > It is not a bug, that is how the verifier works.
