For France, some [http://www.geneawiki.com/index.php/Informatique_-_saisie_des_lieux practical rules] could be useful for seizing place. We need :
* the city name + INSEE code (at option). This code is unique and can identify with certainty a common (with the departmentcounty, district, township and municipality). It can identify with a common insurance even if it has changed its name. This code is used in Archives. ''Using postal code is not advisable ...''
* a subdivision: identifies a parish or a place called within a municipality
* the state (at option) ''or county but is already on INSEE code''
