Easier? I use Rhode Island Colony in English Colonial America. Not accurate but understandable.

Re: [LegacyUG] Locations - Old Vs. New
I guess I don't understand the reluctance to use the note field since you only have to input it ONCE and it automatically populates the same note for every instance in which that location name is used. Plus, it transfers well to websites in gedcoms, etc. You could use Rhode Island Colony (or whatever you settle on for the historical name), then just put a short remark in the adjacent note field telling when Rhode Island became a State. I'm one who does the opposite, putting in the note to tell what existed before, but I understand the historical argument.

RE: [LegacyUG] Locations - Old Vs. New
Just ignore those "Errors" for these locations, they are NEVER going to include ANY of the History of any location. Any location before 1776 time period should use the Colony name(s).

Re: [LegacyUG] Locations - Old Vs. New
Just curious, David. What errors are you talking about? I'm only familiar with the County Verifier which tells you that a certain county did not exist until such and such a date, etc. Jerry - MerriamFamilyTree.org On 12/13/2011 9:03 PM, David C Abernathy wrote: > Just ignore those "Errors" for these locations, they are NEVER going to > include ANY of the History of any location. > Any location before 1776 time period should use the Colony name(s). > > Thanks, > David C Abernathy > Email disclaimers > > This message represents the official view of the voices in my head. > > http://www.SchmeckAbernathy.com > == All outgoing and incoming mail is scanned by F-Prot Antivirus == > > -Original Message- > From: Kay Fordham [mailto:kayhawo...@earthlink.net] > Sent: Tuesday, December 13, 2011 4:36 PM > To: LegacyUserGroup@LegacyUsers.com > Subject: [LegacyUG] Locations - Old Vs.

Re: [LegacyUG] Locations - Old Vs. New
Richard & Jerry, Rhode Island Colony did not exist in 1638 - hence, my problem. I know others prefer not to use the location as existing at the time of the event and that's okay. But not knowing this information has sent me looking in all of wrong places for records. In reading responses I am now wondering which "Notes" you are using that makes the information readily available on reports. Thanks for your responses.
