Jane, The Expand/Contract locations insists that the format be four levels city, county, state, country If any part is missing that part must be replaced with a comma Your examples below are correct but you should also use city, , state, country if the county is missing and city, , , country if the county and state are missing.
The country can be missing without a replacement comma and, if the location is in the United states Legacy will recognize the state name and know that the place is in the USA. In your earlier email the problem places were not in the correct format Guilford Co., NC was missing the comma for the missing city , , , Alabama has too many commas before the state name , , Fluvanna County, Virginia, also has too many commas before the county there should only be one.
