Well, Rich,
I've not bothered with the new supercounties, because they are sufficiently new to have little historical significance. Let's wait a few years to see if they stick. The politicians are always playing silly b's with these things.
But on a little aside to that, there seems to be some confusion about the names of the collections of countries - England, Scotland and the Principality of Wales; those three make up Great Britain. Then if one adds Northern Ireland, one has the United Kingdom (of Great Britain and Northern Ireland). Add the Republic of Ireland, and we have the geographical unit of the British Isles. I think that Legacy's Geographical database seems unclear on those points.
As far as going back earlier than 1300 is concerned, my line has only a string of names without detail, and as such wasn't as interesting as the later stuff.
Warm regards ;-)
Alastair

Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Historical Events in Timelines
I am not flaming you, good idea.
1. Children start learning linearly (?) (crawling one direction) then planelike (turning left or right)
then space-like (up and down). They don't learn graphing until about 10 years.
2. The timeline, 'british version' gives good ideas. For my USA stuff, I have timelines in every
county location for the genealogies of the counties. Similarly, I have considered changing (AKA)
the English counties into the NEW supercounties. But are the new records tied to the new or old counties?
3. I would think that you could bring it down to 1066, or 800 (Charlemagne). But before 1500, IMHO only noblity/royalty exists in any quantity, and these people are the entries.
