Where does the should come from?
I have gradually moved to using the latest version of place names because I
am producing a family tree for family members and other people who are not
expert genealogists. I want to make the tree as meaningful and easy to
understand as possible. In particular:
1.
And the two have a different way of expressing them - so which would be
used?

The problem is less if you use Ancestry or other transcriptions instead of
findmypast.
Registration Districts often cross county boundaries but are named after a
town in one of the counties. Findmypast seem to insist on entering the name
of the county which contains the town which is part of the

Genealogy, like so many other activities, has acquired various rules
for best practice which have been developed by expert and professional
users over the years so that there is some sort of standardization and

Instead of tagging the list just check add results to current list.

John,
Firstly, Registration Districts are not necessarily named after a town, for
example West Ward. The presentation of the the Registration Districts is
accurate and using them correctly identifies exactly where the record can be

By using the lat/long converter.
Anyway, for many locations, neither Bing nor Google has them. I always use
another mapping program to find them. That way is especially useful because I
can find the lat/long or a house, cemetery plot, etc.

You should record the location as it was at the time of the event unless you
keep your research completely to yourself and never share it with anyone.
If you share the info in any way, shape or form, you really should conform
to how everyone else does it or it will only cause confusion :) :) :)
The beauty of flexible programmes like Legacy enables multiple data entry
preferences to suit a wide range of users. The trick is knowing the end use of
the data from the beginning. It would also help if our forebears lived and died
in places that fitted modern naming conventions, wars never
Sounds like the aka location idea would be great, but only if it could be kept

Yes, Michele, but you don't have to mess up your master location list to do
that. You can accomplish the same thing with the note fields adjacent to

I go to GENUKI direct and I agree that it is an excellent resource. As far
as I know it is the only site for *all* the Registration Districts, but the

A colour in the event names means that a source has been linked to that

You can change the colour in Options Customize Colours. Set the
