I have recently acquired two books with lots of information about
several of my family lines. These books are Heritage books,

contain many stories, genealogies, and pictures from Alabama. They
have published one for each county.
Dede,
You are right, it is a lumping versus splitting debate and I am the former.It
is, however, your choice. I use sources for what they are: a source for
something which I have in an event - no event then no source.
Hence my Master Source would be the Book details eg author, publisher
You know how there are 4 fields for USA locations...
city, county, state, country

perform searches correctly
Well, I don't know how many fields other countries have because I am not
sure with their civil structure
What is the correct term, United Kingdom or Great Britain?

Thanks, I look forward to hearing from Ron. For US placenames I have no
problems at all. I don't use the GeoLocater for US places because it
doesn't take into consideration the YEAR of the location.
I could easily have

In short, No. The four field convention. indeed any convention as to the number
of fields, is a USA convention only and simply does not work for virtually any
country outside the USA.
The only convention I use is that the number of fields depends on the number of

The way I understand it is 'Great Britain' refers the largest island, and

I just received the book Getting it Right by Mary H. Slawson today
(offered by Legacy). It is a really good book. The illustrations show that
the author uses Legacy :) It is all about the proper way to document names
(people, places etc) in a uniform and consistent manner.
