Entries of the Entity Location are given for where persons were born, for the present location of documents and the previous or actual locations of monuments.




If one accesses the location list (Location) then, at the beginning of the search, the total records appear underneath the three navigational boxes.

One can type the names of countries in english, regions, provinces, towns or districts in the respective language into the name search box. Also street names and squares or places, as well as institutions such as museums, galleries, etc. have been registered.





If one would, for instance, search directly for the city of Milano then [Milano] should be typed into the name search box.

As all the location entries are ordered hierarchically, it is also possible to search by “leafing” through the Children entries by clicking the [+], e.g.: Italy (country) – Italy (North) (area) – Lombardia (region) – Milano (province) – Milano (town) etc.





By clicking on the search term “Milano (town)” the list of records is opened in the Location Viewer.

The title page of a location entry gives the CensusID, the Name and the Type.

Underneath the links pertaining to this location are listed (Free Navigation). They are followed by details on the person who revised and edited the entry (ChangeLog). By clicking on back you will return to the search.
