Subject: [ROOTS-L] CITING LOCATIONS

Hi, Rooters!  In citing locations, the word "Probably" is very useful. 
Countries, states, even counties, have changed 'hands' so often.  Most 
times, one is lucky to just get a country correct.  For instance, I've 
often used "probably Colonial Virginia".  Originally, Colonial Virginia 
encompassed a huge expanse of land in the U.S.  - eventually, that 
expanse became so many states.
So - unless you know the exact location, 'probably' is the safest and 
best word to use.
Anyway, that's my suggestion.
Good Seeking - Good Luck!  Shirley:  bobert@i-1.net
