Yes there shouldn't be to much parentheses but now it is correct, because cases were charaterized by nations that occupies birth areas today but not in past so it would be unlogical to but present data into past data... and if you do not recognize the correct nationalities than I ask myself how you are able to verify people when you do not care about nationality. Of course our main topic is age, but there are so many other facts that belong to it.

And in Germany (I could also believe many others would need) we need to make differences between German Empire, Prussia, Prussia area, other Royal Kingdoms etc. Germany as it exists today was founded in 1990. Monarchy took an end in 1918. Many changes have been put through history and it would be totally wrong to claim all those differences as "Germany" - that's my personal opinion.

Unfortunately your example with Japanese cases is not the best because in general we are using the Latin alphabet. So normally there is no need for translation. I saw the problem "Kaethe", "Roensch" etc. but at the moment I cannot change it, that was caused by your protection.
