I have said it before, and will say it forever that
each person needs to decide this question for
themselves. You should decide to always use the
current location, OR the places name at the time of
the incident. I use the place name at the time, and in
the location notes I include the genealogy of

Hi Toni,
I have come across this, Never a County, and I
knew it was correct, but I checked the spelling and I
had one letter wrong. Double check your spelling.
Los Angeles does show up as a county for me.
I hope this helps! :-D

You have been on this list long enough to know
that you are not supposed to send
attachments. This holds true even if the folks

Chuck,
The city of Harrisonburg was created in 1916. Between 1780 and 1916,
it was a town in Rockingham County.
So, if an event occurred before 1916, I would enter Harrisonburg,
Rockingham County, Virginia, USA and after 1916 I would enter
Harrisonburg (city), Virginia, USA.. If I know

Thanks for your clarification. I checked the Geo Locations database in
Legacy and they have St. Louis, St. Louis
(City), Missouri, USA. I wasn't sure if I should use the () or not. Your
example didn't and it does. Still not sure what to do exactly. Ihave the

St. Louis is in St

Legacy has it but I think it is odd that they put the (city) were the county

you use comma's as placeholders, would be Harrisonburg, , Virginia, USA

Chuck,
I had heard from Sherry regarding St. Louis, and she said the county
was entered as follows: St. Louis City, Missouri - so maybe use that
pattern for your independent cities.

You would follow your examples, but no parenthesis around the word

So in my example, the four placeholders are: St. Louis, St. Louis
City, Missouri, USA. (It gets repeated twice.)
I have county verifier turned off, so can't verify it works. I hope it does!!
