I use British North America -BNA, French North America - FNA, etc., for the
locations (country) before formal place names existed. I know it is not
accurate but anyone I show this to has understood, or asked. I also use Canada

Right now, Welsh. I would like to have s list somewhere in Legacy so that
those I send my file to can have it right there for reference.
There are other languages too. I don't want recipients to have to do website

Give examples. Are they Native American names, French, Spanish, Dutch, German,
other? (Or American place names?)
On the internet, there are guides to many languages (with pronunciations).
Please be more specific.

Mike,
Free BMD is an English/Welsh database of the GRO Indexes for births, marriages
and deaths, and is just as relevant to the Legacy 1940 template as the indexing

Can the arbitrator send the whole batch back to the indexers because of

Actually, in the project guidelines and in the field help, it SPECIFICALLY says

If you've not yet done so, you might also wish to have the manuscripts scanned
to a pdf file to add to the CD. A document scanner will do a great job of this

You can’t use someone else’s sources for your own when you compile data (well,
you CAN but it isn’t kosher). Your source is the binder itself. Since the
