As most of you are aware some states, especially Virginia, have "Independent Cities" as opposed to being located in a particular county. Previously, I have been leaving out the "Independent City" criteria when recording locations. Since I am cleaning up my Master Location list, I was wondering how many people on this list actually enter the "Independent City" information in locations fields. For example, Richmond, Virginia could be entered as "Richmond, Independent City, Virginia, United States" or it could be entered as "Richmond, , Virginia, United States." The Geo Location Database in Legacy 8 has "Richmond, Richmond (city), Virginia, United States." Although I realize that this is most likely personal preference, I would really like to know how others using Legacy 8 enter Independent Cities.
Caveat: It is not my intent to start a discussion on the pros and cons of the three comma criteria. I am very well aware that the three comma criteria in locations does not fit all countries in the world. Besides this has been previously discussed and is probably in the Legacy Archives.
