The city you are interested in has been known under several different names during various time periods, or perhaps it was merged with a neighboring city at some point in time.

Do you wish to create a “Families from my Village” book that will include persons from the former city and those from the current city?

Open the Places Index. Consult the article entitled “Places Index“, more specifically the Variants paragraph.

  • Specify that the former city is a variant of the current one.
  • Click on Books… and select Families from my Village.
  • Select a place.
  • Click on Detailed options >>.
  • Check the box “Include Variants Places“.

Your book will then include all the persons who lived in this city under its current name as well as those who lived there when it bore its former name(s).
