Rob: If I’m not sure of the town I usually omit it and go to the next higher jurisdiction—township or county. If I’m not even totally sure of that I use something like “Wentworth County [probably], Upper Canada.” The brackets are generally recognized as “editorial comments” and putting that comment *after* the location causes it to at least sort adjacent to another Wentworth County in the Location List. Your “London [probably]” would have the same effect. I do the same when I’m fairly sure of the country but have no actual evidence: “Norway [probably]” to clarify that a relative was not born in the US.

So someone is born (ofcourse always....) but it is nopt entirely sure in what town. If I now would note down in Legacy (e.g.) "London?" or soemthing like "prob. London" then it would enter as another town/city than London. That is not what I want. Is there something similare for names of cities like approximate dates? Or how would you advice? -- Greetings, Rob Vader 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).
