This does not answer your question as such but it might reduce the
number of locations where this type of entry is made.
I dislike "probably", and it's cousin "possibly", being used like this
but most do as it is the age old, traditional way of handling. In this
case what if there is a fair assumption that he was born in Ohio -
perhaps the census so reflects and family tradition backs it up? What
you might not really know is whether or not he was born in Clinton
County? To my way of thinking if you enter as ", probably Clinton
County, Ohio" the state is just as much of a probable as the County.
Because of this I enter these as ", , Ohio (probably Clinton County)".
What if you *know* the birth was in Clinton County and may just be
Wilmington. If you enter as "probably Wilmington, Clinton County, Ohio
then Clinton County and Ohio are also suspect even they should not be. I
enter these as ", Clinton County (possibly Wilmington), Ohio".
Just a bit of a twist but paints a clearer picture and will certainly
sort better.............

How should locations that use prepositions be sorted in the Location
Index for book reports and the publishing center? I see locations like
"probably Clinton County, Ohio" being sorted with the P's. Shouldn't the
"Remove common prepositions from locations" checkbox setting be honored
in reports?
