Hi fellow listers, you were so wonderfully helpful
Of course, you need some way to indicate that the location is not directly
referred to in any of your sources (that you assumed it). You can do this by
writing notes, which can in some cases get pretty tedious. You can also put
around the location. The Location Master List can be sorted ignoring
for
census-derived birth years). Of course, these qualifiers are not
standardized, so there is no right way, and no way to be sure others know
