Interesting thread. I am curious about a detail trying to list the name of a
place within a timeframe, though. (Without starting a discussion on whether
states who seceded from the U.S. were or were not still a part of the U.S.A,

I use country names in my database only when entering data for distant cousins
who migrated to Canada or who just happened to die in the Phillipines, as all
my people were otherwise in what became the US long before it became the US (my
most recent immigrant arrived about 1760).
So

Thanks!
Brian

I'd like to have suggestions for how to record location counties for older
records when the county wasn't formed yet. Examples: 1) John Smith is born
in an area that is now Newberry County, SC, however, he was born pre-1785,
and at that time Newberry County did not exist. His area was called

Bryan (BF), Brazos, TX, USA ... Before Formation ... for historical

Kathleen,
The generally accepted standard is to record locations as they were at the time
