We have in BK great option to use and search for different name on persons. Among this facilities we can use Alternatives name. We can also search for names by the use of * and ? For location we have the same problem As examples I can mention Vedaaen or Vedåen During time the naming has been Wedt ohen 1617, ved Aaen 1627, Wedaaen 1647, Leruigaa 1666, Wedaae 1723, Vedaaen 1891 These way of spelling is used in sources of different kind. BK has yet no possibility to handle this and I should like very much that there was something similar to what we do for names or even soma better way. Additional the places are also during this time range connected to different county, and that do also make some problems I know we have "Details of Location", but that do no give any better help in use of the location. I can add the naming in the Note, but that is that. -- Otto Jørgensen http://www.bkwin.info/ All email is checked by NORTON
