Actually, this doesn't help. What chronology entries are you talking about? Are you talking about creating your own timeline?

In one instance, in Kentucky, in 1817, my ancestor died in New Liberty, Gallatin County. In 1819 Owen County was created from four counties, but New Liberty was split in half, his portion stayed in Gallatin. In 1820 Census, his widow was found in Gallatin paying taxes. In 1821, Gallatin gave portions (including rest of New Liberty area) to Owen County. In 1821, she has left Tax lists of Gallatin and joined Owen County. It was very confusing until I found that the portion of New Liberty they had lived in was renamed in the 1850s? as Wheatley. Before that, in 1830, the family moved in 3 groups over 4 years to Indiana. They never learned (?) the place they lived, was no longer called New Liberty. Everyone in the family, to this day, is still calling the homestead as in New Liberty. Imagine my confusion and frustration when we went to visit it, 1500 miles, and were searching twenty miles away from where the place actually was. I have created matching Chronology entries stating this, so they can be added into any report on this family which might be a person needing the tax list, probate stuff, but if person doesn't need this, I can easily not print paragraphs of info.

Re: [LegacyUG] Locations--(W)VA
I used to change all my locations to 'current' until in the United Kingdom, they changed the century old Shire/County boundaries. The way I found out was by buying a new atlas, and saw all the NEW divisions. The same has happened in France, Sweden (2 times), Germany, Soviet Union, and many I haven't found yet. I am not going to change my database JUST because some government has decided to streamline their processes. Once it is correct(?) in my system, I will never change it.

Re: [LegacyUG] Locations--(W)VA
It should be John Doe born 01 Jan 1760, Berkeley Co, VA (WV did not exist at that time). It isn't proper to put that W in there to imdicate that Berkeley ended up in WV. You always document the location name that was correct AT THE TIME THE EVENT TOOK PLACE. Let's say he died in that same location in 1860. That would look like this, died 01 Jan 1860, Berkeley Co, WV For example, James Elexander Simmons born 22 Feb 1870 Marion Co, MS James Elexander Simmons died 28 Dec 1937 Lamar Co, MS He was born and died in the same house. He literally never moved. This same principle is used even if the state boundary shifted. It isn't a big deal. If you were to write a narrative account you could put a blurb in there explaining the change in state lines but for data entry into your file it isn't proper. michele - Original Message - From: "Pat Hickin" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Sent: Wednesday, November 14, 2007 9:08 AM Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Locations--(W)VA An example would be "John Doe was born 1 January 1760 in Berkeley Co."

Re: [LegacyUG] Locations--(W)VA
Can you provide a concrete example? Thanks. At 09:32 AM 11/13/2007, you wrote: In printing out a descendant report, Legacy is omitting the state IF and only IF it is "(W)VA"! Since it is customary to write the state that way when an event occurred in a part of Virginia that was in Virginia prior to 1863, but became part of West Virginia after that state was created, I'd prefer not to have to change all my "(W)VA"s to Virginia. Why is Legacy taking it upon itself to omit the state, and is there any way I can over-ride this so that the state appears as written??

Re: [LegacyUG] Locations--(W)VA
You record the location as it was when the event took place. If the event took place in 1861 then the location is VA. It doesn't matter that in 1863 it would have been in WV. You always record the correct location AT THE TIME OF THE EVENT. michele - Original Message - From: "Pat Hickin" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "LegacyUG" Sent: Tuesday, November 13, 2007 9:32 AM Subject: [LegacyUG] Locations--(W)VA In printing out a descendant report, Legacy is omitting the state IF and only IF it is "(W)VA"!
