That seems to be good for making changes to the expanded/contracted
location formats, especially if you were slack in entering your data.
But what Dave actually wants is a process to pass through every event in
his database, identify the date on the event and then would or add the
location against it to match the standard for names that he wants to
apply for that date.
I actually doubt that any genealogy system would allow you to do
that, unless it would enable you to have multiple names for the same
location depending on the date that it was valid. I have exactly the
same issue within the UK, especially with locations within Middlesex and
Surrey which have relocated into London.

Work in your Master Location list and you won't have to do them one by
one!

I have been laboriously cleaning up my locations in Legacy 9. I
decided that all events in the US that took place before 1783 should
identify "Colonial America" for the country. After 1872, all US
locations should identify "United States" as the country.
This may not make sense to some, but it is something that I want to
do. Does anyone know how this might be accomplished without changing
them one by one?
