YES. As most of us recommend, always gedcom into a new file, fix the locations to the way you like the locations, then merge together. That way you can also use the tool to make that author a Source for each person automatically. So when you merge a person to himself, you can scroll the sources into your order. Rich in LA CA

To: [email protected] Date: Thursday, June 24, 2010, 5:39 PM I want to import and merge a GEDCOM with my Legacy family file, but the author of the GEDCOM did not format the places uniformly. Some contain the county, some don't, some contain the word "county;" Some abbreviate the state, some write it out, etc., etc. Is there a tool where I can edit the GEDCOM before or after it is imported and merged to format the places uniformly, without having to go one by one? Thanks in advance.
