Alan, Have a look at the event map here: http://www.groganmob.com/getperson.php?personID=I1236&tree=Grogan
I manually changed the address for some of the places eg 177 Richardson Street, so the pins are "red" for street address rather than pink for suburb I've realised another method - my current legacy folder with familysearch style. - backup this Legacy file as a locations version - somehow using an access update query, with the access table tblER, those records with an IDAR key of non-zero, an update query to put the full address into the Description field. - export this locations version to gedcom for tng. :) Margaret On 14/12/2009, [email protected] <[email protected]> wrote: > I forgot to ask why update all the Go codes?
