Yes it is a nice start but very general - Newfoundland did not join the confederation of Canada until 1949 however my ancestors get thrown into Canada (Newfoundlanders through and through). And of course we have the issue of the Austria-Hungary Empire - if your ancestors were born in Austria, Slovenia, Croatia, Yugoslavia - and that all depends on the date, so that is problematic as well. As another poster stated, the same issue arises with Germany and Italy through time. Of course depending on what we include in our databases makes a difference but I am clear about Newfoundland and it makes no difference. Will just have to superimpose the Newfoundland flag!
That said, it is a great quick and dirty view and it does give people an approximation and get the conversation started. My sister knew to ask the questions and we played with the basic report. All good as long as you think critically (always important).
