I recently tried to insert a birthplace as Dixfield, Cumberland County, Massachusetts only to be informed that there never was a Cumberland County in Massachusetts. While it is is true that Cumberland County and Dixfield are in Maine, the state of Maine did not come into existence until 1820. Since Cumberland County was founded in 1760 out of York County, Massachusetts, I entered the data against the advice of the geo-database. This is much like saying a county like Brooke County, West Virginia existed in 1845 when the entire state of West Virginia had not yet exist. Anyone else find errors in the geo-database or can point me to where I have made an error?
