From: marlenejames119@hotmail.co.uk To: family-historian-users@rootsweb.com Subject: Which County? Date: Tue, 21 Feb 2012 17:28:19 +0000 Hi List, When filling in census returns with 'Ancestral Sources,' sometimes the parishes have moved boundaries and are now in adjacent counties. Occasionally the county is completely wrong! Please can anyone tell me how I should be recording these? "As is" or with the present day county? Regards Marlene ================================= Many thanks to all who replied to my query. I have in the past transcribed as is, but I've recently started to do some research for my sister-in-law. All her ancestors seem to have lived on the borders of two counties so each census had a different county. I was wondering what others did and if there was a right or wrong way. My doubts have now been answered thanks to this wonderful list. I always read every query and have picked up a lot of tips and how to's, so thankyou to all you knowledgable people. Best Regards Marlene
