Using the coma you have listed may also means that the city may be unknown.
But the use of no coma, tells me that it is in the county and no city is

In my opinion there should be NOTHING in all caps. Some surnames have embedded
caps and some do not, but they are spelt the same way, except for the caps.
As for states and countries, no way either. We do not need to be shouting in
