 * ''When this category grows, it may have subcategories for:
 * ''aspects of the county in a specific period (tying in with the "Daily life" pages above)
 * ''townships or other types of settlement (but they may be better handled at CuriousFox)

'''The above template is generally all that is needed on the editable part of a category page for "Talk about Somesuch County, Mystate" in the United States (and see below for other American countries). Just type or paste this:'''

'''

(with appropriate local variations for county/borough/parish and state).

The template is adaptable for Canada and for any province or state or even city of any North or South American country, possibly using separate templates for each such country so that local variations of page naming can be accommodated (for example, so that the name of the country can be appended to the introductory sentence if it is not in the page name). Note the small coding differences between this and Template:Born in UK, where the county page name does not include the state.

Template:Born in US is the "model" for improvements to other templates for the Americas such as "Resided in ...", "Cemeteries in", and "Maps of". See Category talk:County navigation templates for lists. If changing one of them, please see whether the same improvement could be noted on that talk page and made to Template:Born in US so as to flow through to others. The original template for Europe is the very first of this set: Template:Born in UK. We try to add improvements to it and to Template:Born in US as models for the series for each continent.

Other continents may use one of these if appropriate but may need a different navbox template.
