I had hoped that when I installed the geo database, I could use the "button" and it would give me one or more of the missing parts, such as county, or province. If I enter something into the field it will give me suggestions based on what I'm entering, but no help when I don't have any idea of what to enter. If I've already entered the full location, it will pull that up; but not for locations I haven't entered.
When the source - right now those I'm finding on ancestry- lists a location, it doesn't always include the county or province. The places I know work out, because I know the county, but many are not familiar. How do you find the complete information to enter into your location database? And where do you check the information for older locations, where county lines, for instance might have changed? Is there a website that gives good information on United States and Canadian counties. I don't know if the locations in Ireland or England (I have a few) should have four fields and if not, where would I put them? How do I know the equivelent to towns, townships, counties for different countries? Are there good websites out there to help? I've used google, but the results aren't always clear and it is more time taking than it would be if there were a website dedicated to this. Also how do you include the township information? I've been adding it to the city (if there is one) in parenthesis. Is that going to be a problem somewhere in the future? Thanks!
