Good afternoon all!
When I enter a place for events on my ancestors I typically say, for example, Haddåna, Amnehärad Parish, Skaraborg, Sweden. But I'm seeing I might be entering the Landskap wrong.
Can someone help me straighten out the name and spelling of this Landskap? I see on several data bases where the name is Skaraborg. Sometimes I see the spelling of Västergötland and other times I'm see Västra Götaland. This forum uses Västergötland which lends me to believe this one is the right one.
Could the name Skaraborg been used after a certain date because the country made changes in titles? If so, when was that? Then I could use the old name for the old records and the new name for the contemporary records.
I want to name it and spell it correctly, doing it the right way.
Thanks for your help. It is appreciated as always!
Regards,
Eric Johnson
