What a great opportunity to add some meat to the bare bones of research. I have learned to put the current name of the area where one was born in the main file of my FTM. Then in my notes I put the history of that area's formation. That way, when it's time to add to a manuscript, I already have the source handy and can note that he was born so and so during such and such time and remained in the area while these political border changes took place. My Notes are also a good place to add any economic changes, military actions, religious reasons, personal reasons that occurred in the area to indicate why he may have remained or why he did leave.. It gives a reader a bit of history of an area to go along with the ancestor's personal information. Fleshing the Bones.
