Well, I haven't been able to duplicate the problem either. l've just tried two descendant reports (one a .pdf from reports, all reports, book reports, descendants) the other, just clicking on the Descendant tab in family view, and choosing a .txt file and both included "W(VA)" without a problem!! Sometimes I think writing to Legacy UG is similar to calling a mechanic when you have a strange auto problem -- the problem seems to solve itself without anybody doing anything that is different. Thanks for everybody's input anyway -- and I appreciated the various ideas about how they handle changing county boundaries. I suppose at some point I'll have to go through my files and try to make those consistent. I Imagine I could spend the entire rest of my life trying to get those straightened out! -- Pat ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dev Null" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <LegacyUserGroup@legacyfamilytree.com> Sent: Wednesday, November 14, 2007 4:56 PM Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Locations--(W)VA > ----- Original Message ---- >> From: Michele Lewis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >> To: LegacyUserGroup@legacyfamilytree.com >> Sent: Wednesday, November 14, 2007 3:07:47 PM >> Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Locations--(W)VA >> >> I stand corrected :) I outlined the accepted standard in genealogical >> reseach and the way Legacy also assumes you will document your locations. >> > >> know there are those out there that do their own thing and that is their >> choice.
