Art,
As you say, over the years British counties have come and gone and boundaries
moved so during the history of a town it is quite possible it has been
encompassed by one or more counties. For recording purposes the county used is
that in which the town was at the time in question. For mappi

How do genealogists handle the English counties where the county lines

This is actually a worldwide problem. I use the choice
'location on date of document' instead of 'current
location name'. I have this in USA, France, Norway,
Sweden, England, Wales, Scotland, Ireland, Germany. It
takes diligence to maintain.

Most information in the file tends to be before the present "counties"

were a few minor adjustments then but nothing like what was done post-1972.

Sound like a good idea, but I would be surprised if

It may show up later.

In your email program there should be a "plain text" setting somewhere. In msn
eg. its below the subject bar in Outlook Express in the Formay Tab at the top
of the Create Email Screen.

No Ron, I am not suggesting that. The information would be filled in

A suggestion just struck me. It would take a lot of rework, but a possible
work-around could be to use the short location name for the location as of
the time of the event and the long location name for the current location.
That would not only help with VE, but also for finding a place for an a

You did fine. Next time take out the English counties,
unless your question is a new one related to the prior
place.
We all learned how to do it, with we hope, a quick
learning curve. :-)
