Administrative reference assertions

Exact normalized locality-label linkage, retaining all matching hierarchy assertions. An undated reference classification, not an adjudicated administrative assignment or boundary. Istanbul/Dersaadet is the inherited explicit alias. These labels do not change locality membership or locate a person in a province at a dated point in his career.
