For what its worth ... or not –

Suggested birthplace strand change: Mortagne-au-Perche, Duché de Normandie

1. Orne is a"départment" designation. Départments didn't exist until the French Revolution was underway.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Departments_of_France#History '''départments of France.

2. In 1075, Normandy was an autonomous duchy. The region folded into French control many years after the Frankish empire collapsed. After William the Conqueror and his leaders went to England. Normandy was ravaged by battles for control of it. It took a long time before France, as a country, won the region for good.

Kenneth, it would be very helpful if you put your knowledge to use and edited place names to be correct for their period in history. Often Geni will automatically put a place name that is modern. If the profile has been locked by a curator then contact such as this is more appropriate but if it is unlocked then there is no reason why you should not edit.

Hi, Terry -

Thanks for the insight. Geni's online system is technologically outdated in more ways than what you explained. I wish you well as you continue working with Geni's antiquated system.

Ciao!
Ken
