Re: [LegacyUG] USA County Verification
I thought I answered this but I guess it didn't go through. When someone writes in and asks me to check a date I use a variety of things, Ani-Map, FamilySearch Wiki, Redbook, Handybook and official county websites.

Re: [LegacyUG] USA County Verification
I worked on the generation of the USA County Verifier and can attest that several sources were used, primarily Handybook and Kane's "American Counties" (particularly for "ghost counties" which no longer exist) along with various websites. When the spelling for a county was in conflict (LaSalle vs La Salle), I used the official spelling as found on the county web page or state archives. There were even times when I contacted county officials to confirm that the spelling was correct.

Re: [LegacyUG] USA County Verification
I believe the dates are taken from a variety of sources. I do know the person who maintained the county lists when I worked for Millennia used official records wherever possible; like official state county history records, county web sites etc. Neither she nor I work for Millennia any more so I cannot comment on current practice.
