Hi Cathy,
All I wanted to do was get my Master Location list in order so all places of
each country, county, town are together, not scattered as some had commas
before the country etc. I tried to explain my problem in my first email in this
thread.
Cheers

Steve and Jennifer,
Are you wanting a list of locations or a list of people associated with
those locations? or both?
Either way, you can get it easily.
What you need is a Location Report for Tagged Locations.
In the Master Location List
Options button
Print - Location Report
with the options you can get either a list of locations OR a list of
locations and who and where uses them.
But first you'll want to tag the locations you want.
For an English county:
Sort your Location list from right to left.
Find the first location of interest:
eg Find: England, Cornwall
Click on the first, then right click and click on the last.
That highlights the group.
Then Options - Tag - highlighted records.
Then go to Options - Print - Location Report, choose what you want and
do it for tagged records.
If you can't get it easily, then you need to do some work on cleaning up
your Location List so everything is entered consistently.

Works very well if you sort the list in reverse order - largest

don't know exactly where it is, I will just temporarily reverse my sort,
search it, and then put it back after I'm done.
Would be nice if Legacy had a search function that would search for a
given
location name regardless of position, though. That would make the
re-sorting
unnecessary.
Yes, following this thread I tried to produce a location list, and
discovered
lots of limitations.
I was sure I had produced a location list from Legacy when we visited
the UK
in 2005, and I wanted a list of places where family members had lived,
sorted, so that I would have a list of towns. Perhaps earlier versions of
Legacy could do that, or perhaps I used another program.
What I tried to do this time, and failed, was to produce a list for an
English country -- say Cornwall.
Yes, it would be possible to produce a list by searching five times and
adding to a list -- first birth, then baptism, then death, then
burial, then
marriage. I'm not sure if the search screen lets you search for marriage,
though.
So it would be marvellous if ii let you search for, and tag, any place
for
any event, with one search, and then print a list with just those.
And then print the list in the order of largest place to the smallest
The list I did manage to print was useless, because it sorted in the
order of
the number of blank spaces with commas, and it printed everything,
with no
selection.

The list is a lot quieter than it use to be. Once they started the
Facebook page, this list really dropped off. The Facebook page is too
chaotic for me.
