Roger, I use the following website, it may help I use British America for the location depending on the time frame or New France, etc, etc. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_America
From: Roger Lamprey Sent: Tuesday, March 11, 2014 10:09 PM To: legacyusergroup@LegacyUsers.com Subject: [LegacyUG] A simple place-name question When recording the place of an event, we should record it as it was at the time of the event, rather than as it would be referred to today. In that case, how should we refer to the American Colonies as a group for events taking place before the United States became a nation (maybe just "American Colonies"?). And, at what date did the crossover from that name to "United States" take place? Thanks! Roger Lamprey -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Russell G.
