John,
Go to http://quickfacts.census.gov/qfd/index.html
There is more info for each county in the US (including the county name)
than you will ever want to know. I also checked every county name with
state web sites. I believe the only discrepancy that exists is that
there are 6 DeKalb or De Kalb counties and some different sources show
DeKalb, GA having a space which I believe it does not. I may be wrong
and it could have been one of the other De Kalb counties. Also the
official name for Ste. Genevieve county MO is Ste. and not Saint or
Sainte. Again more than we probably need or want to know. Gotta get
ready to go mobilling. I will be active in 53 counties in CO, NE , and
KS this weekend.
73,
Larry, W0QE
