How these locality associations are recorded
Membership includes either stored locality field, preserving disagreements between the original and cleaned wording. This is a union of source assertions, not an adjudication. This locality is distinct from a province bearing the same name. First-work fields can include apprenticeship, paid instruction or earlier state service; they do not universally establish a first Post and Telegraph appointment.
Distinct officials and annual entries are counted separately.

Origins of this group
Preferred birthplace wording; one count per official in the relation cohort. The first twenty categories appear here; Explore retains every category.
Other localities recorded in a later AH year than an official’s first observed service here. Counts use either locality assertion and may overlap. These are later observations, not confirmed direct transfers.
Carry this cohort into the connected pay comparison. Both groups retain the same source collection, AH window, missingness policy and annual-record scope.
This page identifies a locality. Province assertions and the administrative reference are separate evidence; their labels do not turn the roster into a province cohort.
