I would like to get opinions regarding locations whose names have changed. More precisely, those that have changed from one county to another or from one country to another.
I would assume that you would list a town as it was at the time of the event. For example, a town in Lorraine went from Lorraine to France to Prussia to Germany to France and finally back to Germany. If an ancestor was born there in 1811, it was part of France at that time. But if a brother was born there in 1816, it was part of Prussia. In this case, I would have 2 entries in the Location list for the same town - 1 for France and 1 for Prussia. Does everyone agree with me on this?
