More than names of places can change. Names of schools, churches, and other organizations can change as well. Do you document those? The name of the school district I went to changed while I was there–once named for it’s location within the county, once named for the main town, once with the word “community” thrown in. Did your ancestor really switch churches or did the name of the congregation change?
