Most of my ancestors lived and died in Hungary, but in 1918 two third of Hungary was given to 7 other countries and they changed the names of the locations. I think it is appropriate to show the contemporary names of the locations, but in addition to the new names, I should be able to show the historic names. After all Geni is about history, therefore it should be historically accurate.

Eldon Clark (Geni volunteer curator) Cczabafi this is easy to do. When you enter locations don't use the default space, use the edit, then on each line enter like this, historical name (present name) More people are now doing this for Europe and the American colonys

Dan Cornett For burial locations the modern location names are most likely to be helpful for someone to visit there.
