Everton claims Everton's Genealogical Helper has the largest circulation of any genealogical magazine. It consists of how-to articles, success stories and queries about lost ancestors.
Genealogists always record events according to the times in which they happened.
For instance, if you found an ancestor born in Kennewick in 1904, you would not record the birth as Kennewick, Benton County, Wash., but as Kennewick, Yakima County, Wash., because Benton County wasn't created until 1905. Wash. For that matter, a birth in Yakima in 1864 would be recorded as Yakima, Walla Walla County, Wash., because Yakima County was created out of Walla Walla County in 1865. Some counties were formed out of parts of two or more counties. Determining where events happened, and thus often where one looks for records, can be difficult in areas that have undergone a long series of geographic change. Nowhere that I know of is this problem more pronounced than in Europe, which has seen an almost continual change of political boundaries.
