Please refresh my memory. I know it's important to record the location as it was during the time the record was taken. For example I have some that were listed (by ancestry.com) as being in Carleton, Ontario; and Carleton, Ottawa Ontario. This is what a search showed me:
Carleton County was established in 1798. >From 1798-1824 this county was part of the Johnstown District. From 1824-1838 >Bathurst District, and finally 1838-1849 the Dalhousie District. In 1849 the >districts were abolished and counties took over. In 1968 Carleton County was 'dissolved' in favour of a new municipality. And in 1969 became known as the Regional Municipality of Ottawa-Carleton. On 1 Jan 2001 this changed and became the City of Ottawa One record was in 1891 and one in 1926. So when I enter the location, it should be Carleton (County) instead of Carlton, Ottawa, Ontario? And if any records are found for between 1969-2001, would you put in the location: Ottawa-Carleton, Ontario? And if it was during the "district" years, would you note the district in the location (which would then go into the master location list). Or am I not getting the way to do it at all? Another question, I couldn't find a place in the master location list for notes. It would be nice to note the history of the location but I wouldn't want to do it for each record. Is there a general place to enter it, where it would be associated with the location - ie Ottawa-Carleton? If not is that a possible feature suggestion - notes for the locations in the master location list? Thank you.
