Don't you just love our politicians?
They just can't leave well enough alone.
It is understandable when the country is
new. But to change well established
borders is (more often than not) fouls' play.
With global warming, Mother Nature may
change a few borders for us.

It's not just UK customers, Keith. I live in the US and have a thousand

Fife,
Clackmannan, and Perth, to name a few, and the name changes for
Forfar/Angus and
Edinburgh/Midlothian, as well as the evolution of Parish to District are
driving me up the wall. The geolocation list is all but useless for
the timeframe
I work in. It feels like I plow new ground every day and sure could
use the
kind of help you are suggesting. But it doesn't put me off from
Legacy. --

However the
UK, for one, has a similar issue with county names changing over
time. This
would be a great feature if you could have a database for each
country. Are
there any plans for this? I don't how many units Legacy sells in the
UK but
I can imiagine it's this kind of functionality with a very specific US
focus, which alienates many UK customers from trying Legacy, much to
their
loss as well as Millenia's.
