I was speaking of the early American colonies. If the check is turned on in Legacy, it will indicate that a particular county didn't exist at the time of the event. There were not states either, since the United States wasn't created until after the Revolutionary (on our side of the pond) War. So, in 17th and 18th century America, "city, county, state, country" doesn't apply either. There was no USA, only colonies. Makes for some rather interesting genealogies. I found one that use MC for either the state or country. I finally figured out they were talking about the Massachusetts [Bay] Colony.
Oh well, gives us something interesting to discuss.... :) On Mon, Jan 25, 2010 at 11:19 AM, Ron Ferguson <[email protected]> wrote: > > If you are referring to England, then we did have counties at that time.
