If you don't mind showing more than one place name that is really the same exact location on the map, then you can use whatever variations you have. On the other hand, if you are like some of us who don't want to use extra place names unnecessarily, why not just explain the variations in the notes that are directly adjacent and a part of the location name field? As has been discussed many times on the list, it's a matter of your personal preferences more than anything. --Jerry - http://www.MerriamFamilyTree.org
