The other thing I like to do is review the master location list. Sort by state in first position -- those would be the locations that will be the ones you really are looking for. Then scan to see if Michigan is listed in the country position or county or city position. I generally just re-sort the list to make the scan easier. I started doing this when I found I had put Michigan as the country name!
