@jamestanner45 how do we deal with the fact that FamilySearch itself has incorrect jurisdictional hierarchies? For example, its locations for Germany are woefully simplified if we were to follow your guidance to refer to locations by their name at the time the event was recorded. Towns in Westfalen that I am dealing with are simplified research to as Prussia rather than referring to the German Empire. For some villages there is only the modern location in Federal Republic of Germany and not even an option for Prussia!
Some of the people I come across were added to the family tree in 2012 when the new system started. Those records could have been submitted in the late 1800’s and the people submitting those records may have known the people but we can’t find any records to go with them and then we think they may be mistakes or duplicates. They have temple work done years ago. I have been leaving them alone hoping more records will be available to show them some time.
