Unlike most genealogy software place name conventions, Include the word "county" in the title of an article about a particular county. | '''Places listed in ascending order.''' If a city or county is listed in a title, at least the state, province, or country where the place is located should also be listed. The place is listed in ascending order (smallest place to largest). Unlike most genealogy software place name conventions, Include the word "county" in the title of an article about a particular county. | ||
'''Exception:''' The titles of historical records collections in FamilySearch.org list places in descending order. | |||
Correct: Utah Salt Lake County Death Registers (FamilySearch Historical Records) | |||
Correct: Canada Ontario Births (FamilySearch Historical Records) | |||
Places that have had different names or jurisdictions. If a place has had more than one name or been in more than one jurisdiction (county, state, province, country and so on), the current name and jurisdiction should be used in the title. If the article gives information about the place only when it had a specific name or jurisdiction, use those in the title. Redirects can be used to make sure users will find the article regardless of the name or jurisdiction they search for. | |||
Non English place names. | |||
