Georgraphic place names

Marie ClaireProulx

Throughout history, names of places have changed. New France changed to Quebec after the Treaty of Utrecht 1713. Quebec bordered on to the Mississippi River after the Royal Proclamation 1763; Quebec bordere was moved to the centre of the Great Lakes after the Jay Treaty. Quebec later moved to the Ottawa River. The place name should be tied to the year to prevent missinformation.

Northwest Territory in US was Michigan, Indianna, Ohio Wisconsin & Illinois. However, some postings lciam the Northwest Territory was only Ruperts land or northern Manitoba, Sask, & Alberta. Again, a misstated posting provides improper place names.
