Missing Counties
World Place Advisor will list all incomplete place names and fill
in the missing blanks. This is especially helpful when you need
county names to research census records. If there is more than one
possible correction (for example there is a place called Shiloh
in 10 different counties in Tennessee), World Place Advisor will
list them all.

all Data Errors

Advisor will pinpoint names that are ambiguous, listed with the

Custom Places
World Place Advisor allows you to add other place names, such
as historical place names that no longer exist, to the built-in
gazetteer. Or you can record unofficial and little-known names (like
Grandpa’s Homestead) and relate them by latitude and longitude
to existing places. |

a variety of data exceptions.

your Data from a Geographical Perspective
Use World Place Advisor’s unique Geo-Tree view to see who
lived where. The left hand place name directory allows you to drill
down to any geographical level (i.e. country, state/province, county,
town/community) and see a list of person records for that place.
This unique geographic perspective will help you discover new leads
and connections in your research. |
