Forum:Place-names

I just joined familypedia and want to contribute my research and connect to other trees. I have used the exact place-names of occurrences, such as Massachusetts Bay Colony, Province of Massachusetts Bay, New Haven Colony, British America before 1776 rather than USA, etc. Should I retain these names or should I enter just the current county, state, and USA in order that I conform to what others have entered.

Thanks for your help
