Not that I'm aware of. Your task may not be as great as you are assuming it will be. Legacy has the Location Master List where changes can be made to a single location and those changes applied to all individuals and marriages that used the location before the change. Also, you can merge differently formatted locations into a single entry. Again, this reduces the amount of work to be done. -- Regards, Mike Fry Johannesburg Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp
