Date Abbreviations

Married Names:

Following genealogical convention, all married women are recorded using their maiden names.

Place Names:

The eternal questions among genealogists is whether to use the original place name or the modern place name. Some places have many different names and connections over the years. My solution is to use the original place names for New World locations, and the modern place names for Old World Locations. I am in progress on setting this standard. There will be a few exceptions for historical clarity. The Byzantine emperors will rule from Constantinople rather than Istanbul.

For buildings, churches, schools, and cemeteries, I am also adding pictures.
