I agree with you. That is why I show the smallest location I can be sure of, and in notes discuss what the smaller parts might be. And why I think that.

Re: [LegacyUG] "Probably" as part of the locacation (WAS as part of the date)
Personally, I would read this:
, , , Germany
to mean that I know the person was from Germany, as opposed to it is
highly probable that the person was in Germany for a particular event.
Also, some folks in the plains are just there--in the plains. They are
in a county and possibly a township, but are not in a city. Therefore,
I use:
near Hometown, Green County, Indiana
I appreciate all of the insight that I get by reading this group. It is
wonderful to see all of the sharing going on. Keep it up!

Re: [LegacyUG] "Probably" as part of the locacation (WAS as part of the date)
Also, if you research a location and find it to be wrong, it is good to still provide information as to why it is wrong. One reason is it makes it easier for someone in the future as they don't need to redo your research. Also, I've had times when I've found something wrong, kept it in my file and noted it as such, and later found it was correct. all information - known correct and known wrong - is useful Foxy Original Message Follows A person without any place is much harder to research later on (which may be tomorrow, next month, 10 years later, etc.). Some recording that I have seen (and done earlier in my research years) doesn't even include a likely country when it's a good bet that 5 generations prior to immigrating to American the family that spoke German and had German descendants was probably from Germany. However, if I exclude such info from my database, it makes subsequent research more time consuming. I need to look at each of their descendants until I find locations. In addition, if I get to go somewhere to do some research or have access to a new database, I want a list of probably locations to nail down. _ Advertisement: Fresh jobs daily.

They are, Kathie. I tend not to use angle brackets as they are commonly used by various websites which offer downloads eg IGI, so I tend to avoid using them. I can then differentiate between my "abouts" and somebody else's. I use the nearest area about which I am certain, this could be a city, county or country.

RE: [LegacyUG] "Probably" as part of the locacation (WAS as part of the date)
I have always looked at "of" and "probably" as having two very distinct meanings. I use "of" to designate a place of residence when an event occurs such as a marriage - you might not know where he/she was born but one knows where he lived at the time of a later event. The word "possibly", or "probably" if you want to add some strength to the situation, is used when I am making an educated guess as to where the event occurred. Depending on era and circumstances you can make a decent guess as to birth/baptism from where he/she lived at the time - not true with contemporary marriages. Some event notes might be in order for clarification. Also on the "probably" situation, I use throughout the address. If I have proof that an individual was born in Illinois but I believe he might well have been born in Chicago then I enter as , , Illinois (probably Chicago, Cook County). Same thing if I have proof it is , Cook County, Illinois, then I might enter , Cook County (probably Chicago), Illinois. I would not use "probably Chicago, Cook County, Illinois" if I have proof the event was in Cook County, Illinois as it means (at least to me) you have no proof on any part of the location. The word "near" can come into play hear as well - ties down the location a bit more, such as 'Amite County (near Zion Hill), Mississippi'.

Re: [LegacyUG] "Probably" as part of the locacation (WAS as part of the date)
What I do is put 'Canada', and in notes put my reasons. I have created a Source titled 'My best guess' where I would state things like 'His parents were in the same county 1830-1850, so guess born there'. When I go back later I do not need to reinvent the thought processes. When either proved yes or no, I remove the guess.

Re: [LegacyUG] "Probably" as part of the locacation (WAS as part of the date)
Dawn, thx again for your reply. So, would you create a location called: Probably Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada (Probably) Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada OR Vancouver (Probably), British Columbia Canada The second would list after Vancouver in the Master List, but I also include the cemetery in brackets after the city for burials. I wonder if that is too confusing. UGH What you say makes sense. But before I start amending all my "blanks", I just want to layout the best route to do this. I find I sometimes waste too much time jumping ahead and having to go back to fix things. A person without any place is much harder to research later on (which may be tomorrow, next month, 10 years later, etc.). Some recording that I have seen (and done earlier in my research years) doesn't even include a likely country when it's a good bet that 5 generations prior to immigrating to American the family that spoke German and had German descendants was probably from Germany. However, if I exclude such info from my database, it makes subsequent research more time consuming. I need to look at each of their descendants until I find locations. In addition, if I get to go somewhere to do some research or have access to a new database, I want a list of probably locations to nail down.

Re: [LegacyUG] "Probably" as part of the locacation (WAS as part of the date)
>From searching the archives, I am not totally clear. Is it preferred to leave a location blank or put in a probable location "Probably Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada"? Is there a standard for this? Is there a location (book, webpage, etc) where standards such as this are listed? Thx! Ralf __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
