[Heb-NACO] NAR question (no Hebrew involved :-)

[Manuel Frau-Cortes]

Agree, for the same token people use "Spain" for Maimonides or Nachmanides place or birth, when "Spain" didn't exist as such prior to 1492.

Countries and local jurisdictions change names …. I suggest you use the most current form of the name, preferably in its “authorized” form.

When I have a person that was born in a German town that ceased existing in 1945, and now is in Poland (with a totally different Polish name), what should I put in the 370 for “place of birth” ?? The original name or the last known one??

Many thanks,
Uri
