Subject: [TMG] Place Style questions
Date: Wed, 1 Nov 2006 07:59:07 -0700


I have a rather nitpicking and a serious question about setting up place styles.
First the serious one. Is it possible to have two or more place styles to handle the same address? For instance I have the address Prince George's County, Maryland. Suppose I want to have a colonial place style where State is given as Province and the normal style where State is State. The contents of the two addresses would be the same but TMG will only allow one place style for the identical addresses. I could list the colonial one as Province of Maryland or Maryland Province but that does seem a bit of overkill.
My primary purpose in this has to do with census reporting. If I can distinguish between the location of a "normal" BMD type of event and a census event I can adjust the associated text to reflect the detail type of entry (address, etc.) on the BMD event and the township entry on the census event. I would place these two entries in the same category, i.e.., detail, especially when the census is being done in the rural areas of a county.
Any suggestions?

And the nitpicking one. Maryland declared its independence as a colony in 1776. It did not ratify the Constitution until 1788 at which time it became a state. What was it in the period 1776 to 1788?

Thank you
Mike
