Kevin, First I have a standard which I use of city,county/shire,state/province,country I have this set for all locations that I use and I have the county verification turned on so that it alerts me to the problem. When I have a location that is preUSA I geocode the present location ex. Plymouth,Plymouth,Massachusetts,USA (I have all my locations without spaces) which is geocoded as N415730 W0704004. I then make a new location of Plymouth,,New Plymouth Colony,USA(if you don’t create a new country) then edit the place and I add the Lat and Long for the current location and put in the notes field the name changes for the county or city and dates, and then I put a check mark in the “Verified” field. With a check mark in the Verified field I know that that location is correct for the time frame and I won’t accidently delete or merge that location. I may also add an old map image to the media. Another thing I have set up is to create a tag for bad locations or other problems (I use tag 9) and then I create a list of all individuals with error problems and give them that tag so when I want to correct the errors I just show that tag number and then I can go through those individuals and work on their problems. Hope this helps, Russ Strong
