The State of Alaska is divided up into Boroughs for the purposes of local government and administration. This vast area has no local-level government other than that of school districts and municipalities within its limits. Many of the villages do have tribal governments, however. Except within some incorporated cities, all government services in the Unorganized Borough, including law enforcement, are provided by the state or by the Tribal government. School districts in the Unorganized Borough are operated either by cities, in those limited instances when the city has chosen to undertake those powers, or through the general guidance of the state Department of Education under the auspices of Rural Education Attendance Areas

Try Gustavus, Skagway-Hoonah-Angoon (CA), Alaska, United States It is in Geo Regards Henry -----Original Message----- From: Chris Summers [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, November 04, 2015 12:32 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [LegacyUG] And a US Census Area be considered a county? When I add a USA based location for birth, death or marriage events I usually list the city, county, state and USA in the location field. However my son married his wife in a small town in Alaska near Glacier Bay National Park that does not belong to any county. The town, Gustavus is a part of what is known as the "Hoonah-Angoon Census Area". Of course when I enter that Legacy tells me no such county in Alaska exists. Would it still be appropriate to enter that in the County field or should it just be left blank?
