Polish birth locations prior to West Prussian
+2

I have several ancestors born prior to the West Prussian partition. They are in several counties, Chojnice (Konitz) & Koscierzyna (Berent) for example. I am wondering what would be the best way to write their birth location in the birth place field on their profile. For now, I have just written the town name, Pomerania, Poland. The area was part the Kingdom of Poland which was part of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth so should I include more information?

Please separate the tags with a blank
I don't understand, I thought this was the new tag for the Poland Project?
Wasn't aware of this, but according to
https://www.wikitree.com/g2g/1491478/poland-country-country-surname-poland-these-changed-separate
you might actually have a point.
I'm a newbie to WikiTree so it's very possible I messed it up, but I'm pretty sure I copied it from the Poland Project page just to make sure I didn't, lol. But, Skye, if I did it wrong, please let me know.
Poland_Europe is correct. :) It was a recent change, so it's possible you had an old version. My apologies for that.
