If one needs to standardize place names, Family Historian does make it easy to edit thousands of occurrences through a database across the board. But I think some discretion is needed. There is one case in my extended family where a 19th-century forebear had 5 marriages all in the same place (they were Zulu tribal marriages, so polygamous). The place in question, Vryheid now in northern KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, was in different jurisdictions for 4 of the marriages, the Kingdom of Zululand, the short-lived New Republic (a secessionist Boer republic), the (Boer) South African Republic, and finally the Colony of Natal. (He died before it became a 5th jurisdiction, the Union of South Africa.) Any understanding of the history of the family would be erased if one standardized the name of the place, because he died intestate and the white family tried to argue that the marriages had not been legal - the argument turning of course on their legality under the various jurisdiction! s - in order to dispossess the black wives and get their hands on his money. Fortunately, they seem not to have succeeded. Geoff Chew 5389

You may also need to be aware that the Wortley registration area near Penistone was very large, and parts of the north of what I would consider parts of Sheffield fell into Wortley, even though it is miles from Wortley village itself. This is probably because Wortley inherited parts of the Ecclesfield parish at one time. My father's birth which was at Hillsborough, Sheffield in 1926, was registered in Wortley. regards Richard On 11/03/2017 09:01, John Keith Coldwell wrote: > Andy > The difficulty with the Wortley place name is that there is the > District by Penistone and the suburb of Leeds.

I have got hopelessly inconsistent with my place names, and it is on my list to gradually go through all and replace with unabbreviated names. One thing I do wonder about is whether I should be adding in "county" (or similar terms) to parts of addresses. For example Wexford, Wexford, Ireland, or Wexford, County Wexford, Ireland? I've also generally avoided putting in street or house addresses to the general address fields, preferring to keep them within the notes field, so for example my birthplace would be Shipston-on-Stour, Warwickshire, England, rather than Eileen Badger Memorial Hospital, etc... I feel this makes the index more easily searchable, even if it does lose a bit of detail, and gets around the issue of not knowing whether to put for example the home address or the hospital address for a birth or death (or how to put both in a single field).

John, It's a good tip for new starters not to use abbreviations, since Geo Coding will not work, I am slowly working through my 47,000+ places. You should find if you operate a system of doing this your Database size should also be reduced since places are amalgamated in most data structures. I am still using Chapman codes for quickness in finding BMD registrations, mainly because my database contains some 77,000+ names. However I change to full places when I find a BMD full record.

Andy The difficulty with the Wortley place name is that there is the District by Penistone and the suburb of Leeds. Both West Riding unless recent references. Maybe if it refers to the district then it could be named Wortley District (which is definitive and can be looked up on a website) and if the village: Wortley, Penistone, YWR or if the suburb Wortley, Leeds YWR. There may be other Wortley places... As it happens I was at school in Penistone and used to do winter time cross country runs in the snow around Wortley. Is the answer to adopt a standard glossary of places eg Ancestry.com although I would not offer to go back and change the thousends of names in my database.

I would use Wortley, West Riding of Yorkshire, England. I only use Chapman codes on Birth Reg, Marriage Reg, and Death Reg., Because I can find must quicker when searching, once I have the Baptism, Birth, Marriage, or Deaths they are entered with a full place name including country. When I have all I will change the code to the full county- I might get that finished in 20 years or so :-) Paul 2627 On 11/3/17 07:21 AM, Andy Micklethwaite wrote: > Thanks for explaining it, Paul.

Merryl, Peter, A member of staff at the London Centre warned my a couple of weeks ago that this was a real possibility. They are unhappy at the arrangement, but have no choice. The reason given is that all the collection will go on line on Familysearch. Indeed, the majority of the Irish Registry deeds that I was going through are already there. The gaps on on Familysearch are almost identical to the films not held by the London Centre. Visitors to the London centre will then look at the records on computer instead of microfilm, but there will be no need to go there as they can be browsed and images downloaded at home.

True Paul But these are all records I've found on other people's trees - no clue to WHereabouts Looking at a place finder - more than 50 Avons, 32 Essex, 49 Paris, 17 Cairo, 89 Yorks and over 100 Berlins. The information is nearly meaningless if you can't even tell what country the event happened in. It is just so important to make sure your reader knows which occurrence of a place name you are referring to. Town, County/state and country will usually do the trick - but more detail is always welcome. Marie (GOONS 5318) Bringing the world together one surname at a time.

I don't understand the logic behind this arrangement. Why give the films to the Society of Genealogists whose charges are quite high, when access was free at the London FHS?

Marie, it depends on which Avon, Essex, Paris, Cairo, Berlin and York you are referring to! For example, if it is the County of Avon in the UK, then probably under Somerset or wherever it was pre-1974. If it was Avon (IN), Avon (OH), Avon (CT), Avon (CO), or Avon (MA), then I'd list it under the appropriate US State. Of course If you were referring to another Country, like Avon, Ont, CA - then I'd list it there instead. Is that what you were alluding to?
