Does sorting locations country first help at all?
Jane in Phoenix From: LegacyUserGroup [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Ian Thomas Sent: Wednesday, April 12, 2017 12:41 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [LegacyUG] Place names - olde vs current? What's the best practice for preserving the older place names while still mapping them accurately? An Australian example, the current ton of Toodyay near Perth in Western Australia was known as Newcastle, and I have some people with that connection, around the late 1800s. Also commonly used by country people then and now, is their property name (pastoral/grazing/cropping, etc) - for example, "Summerhill", New Norcia, Western Australia, Australia (or, "Pankee" - also close to New Norcia). I tend to record as shown, but I "lose" the ability to place them geographically via Legacy. Ian Thomas Albert Park, Victoria 3206 Australia
