Absolutely no need to have a 4 part location. >I would rather not put in a blank county/state just for the sake of >uniformity, but I feel that with the upcoming update to Legacy 8 and >the new Origins and Migration Reports, I am going to have to do >something, or my reports are not going to be completely accurate. > >Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I can do - of if I do >need to put in a blank County/State, how I can do this for a >database of at least 5000 UK & Australian based people? there is absolutely no need to put in a blank, anywhere. Just type in the location spot, exactly what you want, with a comma between each place. e.g. I usually put the address or Church name, then the town/city, then the County (if in England/Scotland/Ireland) or State if in Australia, then the Country. You can even just put the Country with no blanks. There is no hard a fast rule, what ever you use it will come out in your reports as you want. >Thanks >Kathy > Susan Perrett Melbourne, Australia English webpage: http://www.st.net.au/~susanp/index.html American webpage: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~susanp> Research: ALSTON-Suffolk/Bedford/America,post 1850, BOURCHIER-UK, post 1650, CHUDLEIGH-Devon, All, HOLTTUM-Kent,pre 1720,MARTEN-Sussex,pre 1660, OXENDEN-Kent, All.
