For Legacy to actually change a user's record without their consent is quite another. BTW, I actually do use the full United States in my records - that is a choice I made. If Legacy next decides it should be United States of America (to distinguish from the United States of Mexico, which is the correct name for our friends to the south) I would be as upset as other on this forum are at the present situation.

I have put USA and I have put United States. Not once has Legacy changed what I have entered (except when I used the expand/contract feature). I now have all my locations with United States to conform to the LDS standard. Just for the records, I am not LDS but I am very grateful to the LDS church for everything they have done to preserve records through microfilming. They are the experts when it comes to genealogy research so I do respect their opinion on what the standard should be. michele From: Larry McCumber [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, March 12, 2012 4:38 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Location defaults changed It has nothing to do with USA vs United States. It has everything to do with Legacy changing MY data. Problem is I have to much data to switch to another genealogy program. GEDCOMs do not work and data is always lost. I do my research for my family and have no desire for anyone else to see or use. Color me stingy. Don't care.

I actually intend on changing our locations to comply with the United States standard since it was pointed out to me by Sherry there is a need to do so for the public records. But I don't understand why so many on the list have apparently opted to just be stingy and not share their work with others. True, you should be given credit for the work you've done, but why not be willing to share with your extended family? I don't get it...
