Even here in the US it is NOT correct, these mapping sources are using the US Mail code and locations of today World. There are place to do not exist today and Cities and Counties that are in different States now than when they even happened. Not many of my entries are in compliance with the mapping source, and I just ignore them. I like have the word "County, Township, Parish and etc include, because there are times when the location is only in the County with now city or township. We most all have some entries that should be listed as "The Indian Territory" as there was not even a state yet.

Is > there a recommended way of dealing with the no 'County' problem? Yes! Ignore any notion of a four-part location. It's an American thing and really only works for them. Trying to force naming conventions used in other countries onto this four-part thing is a disaster. At the same throw the GeoDatabase away - it's too modern for most non-USA places. Use what is appropriate to *you* and the *locality* of the place being named. -- Regards, Mike Fry Johannesburg 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 Follow Legacy on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/LegacyFamilyTree) and on our blog (http://news.LegacyFamilyTree.com).
