" In order not to mislead or create confusion,...." Wow, the place names within England have my American brain swirling. I am so glad that I have only a few such entries in my family file to deal with and am reminded that the United States and England are two countries separated by a common language.

Adding the county (and even the country) can be problematical. Many Civil Registration Districts incorporated Civil Parishes which were in adjacent counties. To take one example, the RD of Wrexham (Wrexham is and was in the Wales) included the sub-districts of Hope in Flintshire, Wales, Malpas in Cheshire, England and Ruabon in Denbighshire, Wales. In order not to mislead or create confusion, I never include the County or Country in a Location which is just a Registration District. -- Jenny M Benson Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp Follow Legacy on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/LegacyFamilyTree) and on our blog (http://news.LegacyFamilyTree.com).
