From looking at many entries on many people's family trees, it is obvious they have a problem with county names - with spelling, and with a lack of sense of what it is they are entering. WHAT and WHERE is Cumberland County? How about Pictou, or Hants, or Sunbury, or Westmoreland? I recently located these simple, uncluttered 1851 maps, which clearly show the locations and borders for every county in Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and Prince Edward Island. Copy it, print it, and keep it beside you as you enter data; it gives you a real feel for where your ancestors lived, in relation to the larger picture.
