I would use the name at the time of the event. I would also make a note telling it today's name.

When entering a place name for an event, (birth, death etc.) that took place in a foreign country should you use present day locations or the location at the time of the event? My reason for asking is that my mothers family comes from an town in present day Germany. However they came to this country before there was a Germany. Although the events always occurred in the same town that town at times was part of different Countries or Kingdoms. I have cases where people were born in Bavaria, married France and died in Prussia and in between lived in another kingdom but never left the town. Your thoughts would be appreciated Ray Rhoads 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).
