The problem i run into is that I can't take advantage of modern geo coding for the location to locate on a map today. Maybe these software programs ought to offer a historic location and current location for each fact. Of course, there is no guarantee that in 100 years the current location will be the same either.<br /><br />Thanks for introducing us to the new features in RM5.<br /><br />EileenEileenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00064329229537398807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26204193.post-84914615770007858662011-12-02T09:36:50.485-08:002011-12-02T09:36:50.485-08:00Randy, Thanks for your thorough descriptions of R...Randy, Thanks for your thorough descriptions of RM5 functions. As I have been working to change place names to their time-sensitive correct identity (using County Check), I have been adding a parenthetical note to the Place Details box to indicate the later county and/or state name. For some locations the later locality name would be self-evident; for others, however, not so much. I figure that this will help me as I try to track down these people/places.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02854939812003260963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26204193.post-17957122201873904632011-12-01T21:59:16.315-08:002011-12-01T21:59:16.315-08:00Randy, I have actually been working with my Legacy...Randy, I have actually been working with my Legacy database, changing the country before 1775 to America rather than the United States. What was I thinking when I did this ~laughs~ Now I see that it should be "British America" oh my! You are right, I wish there was somewhere there was a list for a standard place name.<br /><br />Good Luck and thanks again for your guide through Roots Magic 5.<br />~KristineFocus Grandma!
