API to determine Country for dependent country?

[Jens Lechtenboerger]

Dear reader,

I'm experimenting with the webservice API to cross-check address
information. I'm not sure how to interpret search results for
dependent countries. Is there a way to retrieve the "real" country
for a dependent country?

E.g., the following query URI for "Guadeloupe, France" (after adding
a username parameter)
http://api.geonames.org/search?style=full&name_equals=guadeloupe&country=FR
returns Guadeloupe as PCLD, ADM1, and ADM2 with country code GP.
However, I cannot see any indicator that Guadeloupe may be a part of
France.

Is there a query to retrieve a result that mentions "France" or "FR"
for "Guadeloupe"? (Similarly to the fulltext search on geonames.org
that shows "GP,FR" for the first search result concerning
"Guadeloupe"...)

Thanks in advance
Jens
