A while ago I did think it would be useful to add the county names, but I realised that many RDs overlap counties so it would not always be accurate. One example: I have people who were undoubtedly born in Derbyshire but their births are actually registered in Burton-on-Trent. Burton-on-Trent itself is in Staffordshire but the Registration District spans both counties. I decided not to complicate the issue with counties! -- Jenny M Benson Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp
