I am getting confused about entering place names for countries other than the United States. About 95% of my ancestors are from England, the remainder from Canada. Do the same rules apply here for these countries and do I need to add the comma(s) for unknown fields in order for searches to work properly? Should every place name have four fields? For instance, in England, would the order be City, Parish, County, Country? I have tried using a gazetteer, but only districts are mentioned, not parishes. Would I use the district name instead? There are no parishes or counties for my Canadian place names and so do I leave that field blank and add a comma? Or should I use community boundaries, for instance, St. Boniface [community], Winnipeg [city], Manitoba [ province], Canada [country], the order being smallest to largest? I thought I had this straight in my head, but find I am becoming more and more confused as I edit my tree and I am concerned that I may be entering everything wrong. Thanks for any suggestions.
