I’m trying to put in a birth date of 1700 for an ancestor born in Somerset, England and I keep getting error messages. I know I can override these, but I’d like to be as accurate as possible. The word “England” is not recognized, and I get messages that United Kingdom wasn’t created until 1707. I get this message when using “United Kingdom”, “Great Britain”, and when using only the word “Britain.”
Any suggestions on how to phrase this?
