| | | :*'''Recording a Place Name - Different Options''' - There are several options to record a place name: |
| :*'''Record the location as shown on the earliest record you have of the event'''. Many times the place where a birth took place is in a different county or province today and in some cases even in a different country! For example, a person may have been born in a town which is in Poland today, but the town may have been part of the Kingdom of Prussia when the event took place. Boundary lines change over time in many parts of the United States as well as the rest of the world. | | ::*[[Recording a Place Name in a Genealogy Program#Time of the Event - Option 1|Place at time of event]] |
