If you only have one location with multiple individuals using that location, then use the “edit” function to modify the location and it will change it for all the individuals that use the location. From: Pam Gosling [mailto:pg...@comcast.net] Sent: Thursday, December 05, 2013 10:27 PM To: LegacyUserGroup@LegacyUsers.com Subject: [LegacyUG] Can I merge 2 locations in Master location list? Hello, I finally found a format/structure for a Old German Prussian(and current Polish name) location that gives me the correct map location, but I have over 30 instances of the same town in one family line to correct to the same format; is there a way to “merge” or convert all of the same “places” to have the same format (like I can do with the master surname list)? Or, is my only choice to copy and paste each one individually within the “edit” button? I tried the “combine” button, but that must be for something else because it didn’t do the trick. (I’m still in v7.5, awaiting conversion to v8; will it be easier there?... am waiting to work with the Geobase then). Thank you all for the great help and taking the time to work through all this.
