Marg, Actually, I prefer it that way. Imagine how difficult it would be to find records if they were all listed on Ancestry.com under the jurisdiction when the event took place. Some of my places are listed 4 or 5 different ways in my location list because of how they were known through the years. This is just another good reason why we need to study the history too.

Re: [LegacyUG] Entering Canadian Locations - Changing boundaries?
Sherry's response is great - and as with many things in Legacy I would suggest you just open it up and play with it. Step 1 - See what is in the timelines already. Step 2 - Open up a rather simple timeline in Legacy to see how it was done - suggestion here is the federal census for USA. Step 3 - Try making a timeline of your own - Why and/or How? I have made timelines for states I am interested in and family lived in at some time (Missouri, Nebraska, Oregon, Washington), as well as countries (Ireland, Newfoundland/Canada, Sweden, Norway and Slovenia) because these places are where my people (to date) are from. Start simple (you can always add to your timeline). I suggest a three prong approach - (1) take a look at the timelines in FamilySearch.org country and state summaries, (2) take a look at Wikipedia, and (3) take a look at the Archives or Historical Society for any countries and states you are interested in. Put all the information you find (copy/paste and source it) in a word processing document and then go through it and highlight the sections you want to add to your timeline and perhaps write it up in a way that appeals to you. Remember that your entry is short - the date and the fact. The description and notes section can discuss in greater detail and provide the source. Create a timeline, add a few entries, save it, see how it looks and then add to it as time and interest permit. Remember to source each entry (so you know where you got it - do it right there in notes) and make sure your entry is short and sweet and put your discussion in the notes section. Then play around - run a chronology report with a timeline in it - for my family in Newfoundland - I have when the censuses took place, when women got the vote, when confederation occurred (reminds me to look to Canada after that and Great Britain before), when various political factions were in power, what the industries were and when they faltered (cod), emigration routes and time-frames. You get the idea. The timelines are also a really nice way to incorporate some of your location research. As with so many things - play around with it, see how it reads, tweak it, and then use it!

Re: [LegacyUG] Entering Canadian Locations - Changing boundaries?
Thanks, Tessa. My problem is I have so many things to do right now. The main thing, which I've neglected the past few days, is to do as much research on ancestry.com as I can before my six months subscription is finished. I've given up on incorporating it into Legacy until I'm finished and can clean up their gedcom. I do have the source detail information in FTM since it syncs with my online program, so I will be able to cut and paste even after my subscription is up. Thank you for the idea to put the info in a word processing document first and use highlighting. That will save some work. I wish I could skip sleep. I so much want to get into what you are talking about and do more with Legacy. Have to force myself now to take one step at a time.

Sherry's response is great - and as with many things in Legacy I would suggest you just open it up and play with it. Step 1 - See what is in the timelines already. Step 2 - Open up a rather simple timeline in Legacy to see how it was done - suggestion here is the federal census for USA. Step 3 - Try making a timeline of your own - Why and/or How? I have made timelines for states I am interested in and family lived in at some time (Missouri, Nebraska, Oregon, Washington), as well as countries (Ireland, Newfoundland/Canada, Sweden, Norway and Slovenia) because these places are where my people (to date) are from. Start simple (you can always add to your timeline). I suggest a three prong approach - (1) take a look at the timelines in FamilySearch.org country and state summaries, (2) take a look at Wikipedia, and (3) take a look at the Archives or Historical Society for any countries and states you are interested in. Put all the information you find (copy/paste and source it) in a word processing document and then go through it and highlight the sections you want to add to your timeline and perhaps write it up in a way that appeals to you. Remember that your entry is short - the date and the fact. The description and notes section can discuss in greater detail and provide the source. Create a timeline, add a few entries, save it, see how it looks and then add to it as time and interest permit. Remember to source each entry (so you know where you got it - do it right there in notes) and make sure your entry is short and sweet and put your discussion in the notes section. Then play around - run a chronology report with a timeline in it - for my family in Newfoundland - I have when the censuses took place, when women got the vote, when confederation occurred (reminds me to look to Canada after that and Great Britain before), when various political factions were in power, what the industries were and when they faltered (cod), emigration routes and time-frames. You get the idea. The timelines are also a really nice way to incorporate some of your location research. As with so many things - play around with it, see how it reads, tweak it, and then use it!

Re: [LegacyUG] Entering Canadian Locations - Changing boundaries?
Peggy - I don't know how others do things (I am sure we will get lots of responses) but I have a great deal of Newfoundland (pre and post confederation) as well as some British Columbia. While that is not Ontario I think the same principles apply. At the outset, I do use a four place master location and I know that many others consider this a USA driven convention. Most important point, be sure to take a look at articles about naming locations for any of the areas you work with and learn some of the history so you know what the location was when your event took place. You have some serious issues with Ontario because of time-frames - Upper and Lower Canada, various provinces while it was part of Quebec, and the confederation issue. I would suggest if you want to follow the timing that you check out the wikipedia article (I know but it is a good start) and then the Archives of Canada for the discussion of administrative units). I did the same type of thing when I was looking into Newfoundland, Norway, Sweden and Ireland for my own database. You might also want to put that information into a timeline to assist you if there are marked changes. My practice is as follows: (a) Norway - I include the farm name in the suffix in my entries for Norwegian families (they are often known by their farm names) so Lanke, Nedre-Stjordal, Nord-Trondelag, NORWAY [however, I do use the correct special characters in my database for norwegian) (b) Ireland - I include town or village, county, province and country for Ireland so Saint Mullins, County Carlow, Leinster, IRELAND (c) Sweden - I include town or village, county, province and country for Sweden so Basterud, Eksharad, Varmlands lan, SWEDEN [again correct special characters in my database for swedish] (d) Newfoundland - For my Newfoundland (pre and post confederation) and for the other provinces of Canada I do as follows: If it is pre-1949 (confederation), my location reads: Plate Cove, Bonavista Bay, , NEWFOUNDLAND If it is post-1949 (confederation), my location reads: Plate Cove, Bonavista Bay, Newfoundland Labrador, CANADA (e) Canada - my example for British Columbia reads as follows: Vancouver City, Vancouver, British Columbia, CANADA (f) USA - again four conventions so Seattle, King, Washington, USA I realize that this does not work for all countries but I do make an effort to go the country's website and figure out how they break down their country codes, then I make a note in the master location list edit section if I feel I need to add any specialty information. The key is to think about what you want to do, how you want it to read, and if you and someone else will understand what you are referencing. Above all, don't abbreviate (or if you do put that in the short form) because codes change over time and you want to try to do this once and have a system in place. Just my thoughts. Best of luck!

Re: [LegacyUG] Entering Canadian Locations - Changing boundaries?
Peggy, Canada West and Canada East were the names used in Colonial Canada from about 1841 until Confederation in 1867 when the separate Colonies of Canada, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island combined into modern Canada. Before 1841 there were two separate colonies (do not remember what they were called). In 1841 the French and English colonies were combined into one colony called Canada. Canada West was the name given to the English colony in what is now the province of Ontario, Canada East was the former French Colony in what is now the Province of Quebec. The province of Ontario is divided into counties for local government purposes and the Grey you mention is one of the counties. It has now been combined and the present county is called Grey and Simcoe. The area is North of the City of Toronto. Not sure when Grey North existed, if it ever did as a separate county. Within the counties are smaller subdivisions called townships perhaps Grey North is a township name.

Re: [LegacyUG] Entering Canadian Locations - Changing boundaries?
Marg, Depending on the time frame I have locations that are Upper and Lower Canada, Canada West and Canada East. For those locations I also edit the place location and put the time frame that it was with that name and I include the following explanation: 1841-1867 In 1791 the Constitution Act divided Quebec (the former New France) into Upper and Lower Canada. Each had its own legislature and its own unique civil law codes and rules of land tenure. Upper Canada was largely English-speaking and Lower Canada was almost entirely French-speaking. In 1841 the Act of Union united Upper and Lower Canada as the Province of Canada with two halves -- Canada West and Canada East -- collectively known as The Canadas. Then in 1867 the British North American Act created the Dominion of Canada and Canada East and Canada West became separate provinces known as Quebec and Ontario. Also that year the Province of Canada, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick agreed to join together. These dates are important to family historians because references to Upper and Lower Canada indicate a date before 1841; references to Canada West and Canada East means sometime between 1841 and 1867, and any reference to Ontario implies a time after 1867. When someone born before 1867 told an American census taker that they were born in Canada they usually meant Ontario, but might mean Quebec.

From: Tessa murke...@gmail.com To: LegacyUserGroup@LegacyUsers.com Sent: Sunday, April 22, 2012 5:41 PM Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Entering Canadian Locations - Changing boundaries? Most important point, be sure to take a look at articles about naming locations for any of the areas you work with and learn some of the history so you know what the location was when your event took place. Most of the sources I'm working with come from ancestry.com and many are census. All give some form of location. I assume, for a census, the place it was taken would be the location that was correct at the time. I was wondering if I should use, for example, Canada West for the country, or just Canada. For the counties, I wondered if I should use what is in the ancestry census source - Grey is the county that seems to have variatins - or just use Grey. I think the answer for the county is to enter what is on the census. Probably same for country, but not as sure. Another problem arises when the source isn't clear as to whether it is a township/town or county. The geo location code occasionally pops up with something helpful, but usually is no help. Googling it sometimes gives me more information. If I don't know whether the place is a town or county, I don't know what field it goes into. I hate to think of how much I'll have to learn when I don't have the sources spelled out as much as there are when found on Ancestry. I didn't check the wikipedia article in depth, but found a page with a simplified version to start with. You might also want to put that information into a timeline to assist you if there are marked changes. Is there a program that I could use to create such a timeline, or would I need to come up with it on my own? My practice is as follows: (b) Ireland - I include town or village, county, province and country for Ireland so Saint Mullins, County Carlow, Leinster, IRELAND I have a few sources from Ireland and some list Parish. Do you ignore parish? Do you enter it somewhere that it can be found and yet not mess up the consistency of the locations? I do enter the complete spelling of the province or state, but I hate to lose the township when available so I've been adding it after the town in parenthesis, and abreviating it to twp. there. When it shows up as township I put it in the town field and spell it out rather than abreviate. That is also is a bit confusing in the master location list. Sometimes Ancestry (where most of my data came from) uses a name that could be town or township. I don't know if it's because there is a town in that township, or they just are entering the township without noting the rest. I also have been entering the county without the word county after it. This could be a mistake also. To make it more difficult, in Canada, when census is divided by districts rather than county, or the district is there and the county noted. (I guess there can be more than one district in a county) then I don't know what to put in the county field. I could veer away from the standard four places, but that might get even more confusing. I make a note in the master location list edit section if I feel I need to add any specialty information. Where is the master location list edit section, where you make the note?

That makes sense. I knew that the census places were often districts but sometimes counties. It helps to know Grey North was the district.

Peggy, Canada West and Canada East were the names used in Colonial Canada from about 1841 until Confederation in 1867 when the separate Colonies of Canada, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island combined into modern Canada. Before 1841 there were two separate colonies (do not remember what they were called). In 1841 the French and English colonies were combined into one colony called Canada. Canada West was the name given to the English colony in what is now the province of Ontario, Canada East was the former French Colony in what is now the Province of Quebec. The province of Ontario is divided into counties for local government purposes and the Grey you mention is one of the counties. It has now been combined and the present county is called Grey and Simcoe. The area is North of the City of Toronto. Not sure when Grey North existed, if it ever did as a separate county. Within the counties are smaller subdivisions called townships perhaps Grey North is a township name.

It also often gives the township. I'm wondering how Legacy users enter these different results into their Master Location list. Thank you for any help!

Re: [LegacyUG] Entering Canadian Locations - Changing boundaries?
Russ, I like that. Do you put it under the notes in the Master Location list, or the event list? How would you work a report so it only prints out once, or do you? Thank you. From: R G Strong-genes rgstrongge...@gmail.com To: LegacyUserGroup@LegacyUsers.com Sent: Sunday, April 22, 2012 6:54 PM Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Entering Canadian Locations - Changing boundaries? Marg, Depending on the time frame I have locations that are Upper and Lower Canada, Canada West and Canada East. For those locations I also edit the place location and put the time frame that it was with that name and I include the following explanation: 1841-1867 In 1791 the Constitution Act divided Quebec (the former New France) into Upper and Lower Canada. Each had its own legislature and its own unique civil law codes and rules of land tenure. Upper Canada was largely English-speaking and Lower Canada was almost entirely French-speaking. In 1841 the Act of Union united Upper and Lower Canada as the Province of Canada with two halves -- Canada West and Canada East -- collectively known as The Canadas. Then in 1867 the British North American Act created the Dominion of Canada and Canada East and Canada West became separate provinces known as Quebec and Ontario. Also that year the Province of Canada, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick agreed to join together. These dates are important to family historians because references to Upper and Lower Canada indicate a date before 1841; references to Canada West and Canada East means sometime between 1841 and 1867, and any reference to Ontario implies a time after 1867. When someone born before 1867 told an American census taker that they were born in Canada they usually meant Ontario, but might mean Quebec.
