<div>I have a personal question and wondering if I could get a feel for how others do this. In the past I recorded name places based on where they were located currently. Simply because it was easy to lookup. Then I started to put the historical places based on the event's time frame. Now my database has part current and historical name places, simple because I never transferred everything over.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Since starting to use new FamilySearch I see that they are trying to record places as they are known currently. Should I follow and change everything in my database to reflect it's current location? I could record a place currently as "Queensbury, Warren, New York, United States" and then in event notes put formerly "Washington County" to reflect the historical event. Then in the individual summary it will note the change historically.</div>
<div><br></div><div>The benefit of doing this would help me keep my place list neat in my database. I just wanted to know how others are handling this, and the pros and cons of each way.</div><div><br>Thanks!</div><br clear="all">
