-I suppose you are going to discuss this, but just in case you don't, I'll bring it up.  Please give some thought to how to describe an area.  A perfect example might be Harmony, PA, which exists in documents, but not on the ground.  I think Oakland is the closest town with a current name.  Also areas were located in territories that are now states; counties are divided and the names are changed, etc.  Do we give it the current name so that people can find it or give it the name and location so people can find it in documents?
