Re: [LegacyUG] Location names for Pennsylvania

While I agree that a mass import from a public tree is unwise, there are other cases. Say you find a third cousin who has worked diligently for years to capture a branch of your tree that you have not had a chance to research for yourself. (A descendant line, not your ancestral line.) You

Re: [LegacyUG] Location names for Pennsylvania

I believe that we should be bridging “what was” and “what is”. People like to know the history. Yet, it has no meaning if they can not relate to present day. I take the approach of making a word modification to the location data. I primarily use the current location and then insert the original

This has nothing to do with mass imports.  If someone posts information that you don't already have, how can you know that it's not being recorded correctly?  You don't.  That's why we have standards; so that when we share information, we have consistency in data fields, and know what to
