Re: [LegacyUG] Elizabeth City (a county), VA error message

[mbstx]

I have the information entered correctly, with the "city" of  "Wythe Magisterial District" (again, per the census page) and the comma in the correct place.  I still got the error message even tho it was entered correctly.  MY question was why that error popped up, the Elizabeth City is in the County Verfiier list.  Marianne -----Original Message----- From: Sherry/Support Sent: Aug 17, 2012 4:00 PM To: LegacyUserGroup@LegacyUsers.com Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Elizabeth City (a county), VA error message Elizabeth City, VA shows in the USA County Verifier as being in existance between 1634 and 1952.   Make sure you have the location entered correctly as   <city>, Elizabeth City, Virginia   Or a comma in place of the "city" if you don't know the city.   It was merged into the city of Hampton in 1952. There's no reference to it being renamed to Northampton in 1642. Accawmack was renamed "Northampton" in 1642.   Sincerely, Sherry Technical Support Legacy Family Tree On Fri, Aug 17, 2012 at 12:08 PM, mbstx <msz...@mindspring.com> wrote: Today I was entering information for a family member who was at Langley AFB in Virginia in 1940.  The image clearly shows "Elizabeth City" as the County name.  When I entered "Elizabeth City" in the County field in Source Writer I got an error message that there was no such county in 1940. BUT the county verifier clearly shows "Elizabeth City" as a County in VA from 1634 to 1952!  Parent county: original shire; no progeny counties; name changed to Northampton 1642. So which is it??? Wikipedia says it was still a county under the name Elizabeth City in 1952. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elizabeth_City_County,_Virginia Marianne Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp Follow Legacy on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/LegacyFamilyTree) and on our blog (http://news.LegacyFamilyTree.com).
