Hi Jenny. You kinda lost me on that explanation. Do you mean that if you are not sure of the country (i.e., Wales or England?), you just don't put the country in your place name field at all? I'm confused, but since sort order is paramount to me, if I had two choices for country, I guess I would choose one and opt for an alternate place name with the other country, with appropriate notations. Maybe I misunderstood what you are saying. Jerry Boor, MerriamFamilyTree.org
