Private User the full name of the town is Prince Albert Hamlet, sometimes abbreviated as Prince Albert or even shorter as Albert. It is indeed a tiny town, or rather a village. In many, many cases places are listed under the name of the nearby town even where the event took place in its district. I am not aware of any Geni policy that prescribes how to indicate the nearby town if an event took place on e.g. a farm in the town district, but maybe we could add the words "District of ..." before the name of the town.

Oh, and I just thought of the former custom in South Africa where the town district was listed based on the magisterial district (i.e. the seat of judicial authority). In this way e.g. my own home town called Tweespruit (meaning Two Rivers) was first established in 1912 during the time when the current province now named Free State was known as the Orange River Colony, in the magisterial district of Thaba 'Nchu (meaning Black Mountain) -- re-assigned in the 1970's to the magisterial district of the town of Excelsior. At the time the change required, among other things, changing the number plates of vehicles. So, there may well be difference of opinion whether the name of the closest town should be listed under the geographical 'District of..." or the applicable judicial magisterial district.

To compound the above conundrum, since 1996 under the current South African Constitution, towns now resort under a wider municipality which includes several towns, and on top of that under an even wider provincial regional authority. To use the above example again, Tweespruit resorts under the magisterial district of Excelsior, in the municipality of Mantsopa, within the provincial district council of Thabo Mofutsanyana. And the province is Free State.

Even the name of the province has seen changes over the years. At first, it was an independent, sovereign country called the Republic of the Orange Free State, and in 1903 after the Anglo-Boer War it became the Orange River Colony. When the Union of South Africa came into being in 1910, it was renamed once again as the Orange Free State Province. This name remained unchanged under the establishment of the Republic of South Africa in 1961, but underwent yet another change to Free State Province under the democratic constitution adopted after 1994.

These changes over the years have led me to use the local, district, regional, provincial, and national indicators as they existed at the time of the event to indicate the administrative and/or political position of the place (or town) as it existed during the relevant period.
