Doug, I am not sure where you got your information from, so here are my comments:
>Legacy requires me to uase the "City, County, State, Country" >hierarchy, and I am happy to use it if it helps. It does not "require" you to adopt this format, but if you don't certain functions, such as the geolocator will not work properly. >There are no counties in Australia or New Zealand, and the English >counties are treated as States, which is fair enough. So the "county" >field is always empty for me (except for my wife's U.S. line.) It is not "fair enough" to treat English counties as states, the two are very different. England has counties and does not have states, full stop, period. It is, in my view, also incorrect to use ", ," because this will indicate something is missing - there isn't! Every country's locations should be written as the locals do. >On the other hand, in the >U.K. I am told to use current locations, but the county boundaries in >the database are those before the redistribution. I haven't a clue where you got that one from, it is defnitely not the case. Locations should be written as they were at the applicable time. Extra commas and spaces can be removed by going to the location list and delete them. If you have too many I suggest that you use Find>Search/Replace for the Location field. --- Ron Ferguson http://www.fergys.co.uk GOONS #5307 "Doug Laidlaw" <[email protected]> wrote: >............(see above) 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 Follow Legacy on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/LegacyFamilyTree) and on our blog (http://news.LegacyFamilyTree.com).
