Is there an option/function in Legacy software that shows which counties etc. were divieded/regrouped whatever on a particular date?
I know that there is a troubleshooting option that indicates if a particular county hadn’t been created until a certain year. I thought I Remembered an assist function on an earlier version of Legacy software concerning counties. Maybe I’m thinking of another software.

With many relatives in West Virginia I have this problem. WV did not become a state until June 20, 1863. On top of that many counties within the state were divided over many years, far too many for me to recall them all. Then there is the problem of knowing locations but not dates so one cannot be certain of entries Bill Sent from my iPhone On Aug 1, 2019, at 8:15 PM, Christopher Seward Sr. <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> > wrote: You are free to record as you choose, but keep in mind that if you publish & share this information, your method goes against the standard, and can cause issues. An example for me was importing a person's info into my file. I kept getting import errors stating the the location (birth place) did not exist on that date (birth date). Now I have an issue, since this place not only didn't exist when this person was born, but when it did exist, it was in a different country than when he was born, thus making him appear to be of one heritage, but was actually another. I recommend ALWAYS putting the correct location in, and putting the current name of the location in the notes.
