gives Norwegian locations.
None of them has longitude/latitude and it is based on farm names. Cities/Villages is not includes except as comments.
The order of the locations is: Farm, Parish, Municipal, County (Gaard, Sokn, Herred, Fylke)
I use the first link for my locations, and it also gives me the link to medival information of the farms.
I don't know if it's possible for you to transform this bases, but if any interest contact me of list

When we get to the point of editing the geo database users will be able to
enter missing items like this one. One of the things we need to figure out
is when everyone can edit locations do we want to try to collect those
corrections/additions and add a way for distributing these files users
submit to everyone else. The big problem is with everyone being
Genealogists and wanting verification of locations how do we handle
conflicting information. Either on this list or maybe it was on our beta
testing mailing list we had a person who lives in a county here in the USA
and they reported that we had a problem and should correct our file. A
quick search of the internet (not a very reliable source many times) showed
the location two different ways. The official name was correct in our
database and even though that person had lived there for many years didn't
know the official name of it. Another big problem of sharing the changes
is our source of geo data comes from a company that claims they have about
10,000 changes a month. We are planning on refreshing our data with each
major release of Legacy. This means those 10,000 changes each month plus
all the changes any users submit somehow have to be verified and as a small
company we simply don't have the resources. So, Editing may have to remain
something that a user can export before a major release when we give them a
new updated database and then import their changes back into the new file.
It would be great if we had a way of verifying everything that our users
will be adding.

Hi
As I understand it Krummendiek is a small town or village in the area called
Itzehoe. There is a central administrative city called Itzehoe also in the
area of Itzehoe.
These are some of the reference I have:
1. Jurgen Sehestede zum Krummendick mit der frauen (Jurgen S from
Krummendick with wifes). Zum in german for nobles often means it is a castle
or town.
2. Erik KRUMMEDIGE Abt. 1332 Krummendiek, Itzehoe, Slesvig-Holstein Aft.
1388. This is a referance from a old German document indicating that
Krummendiek is a village/town in the area of Itzehoe.
Landgerichts Itzehoe http://www.lg-itzehoe.de/. This is the webpage for the
area of Itzehoe. Landesgericht now a days is about the same as County in US
but a couple of hundreds of years ago it was equal to State in US. Any
native German who can explain this better ?
There is a town in the area called Itzehoe with a webpage
http://www.itzehoe.de/Itzehoe/.
So there is both a town and a "county" named Itzehoe
Now if you look at companies in Itzehoe area there is a place called Krummendiek. This company have an adress there (no map unfortunatly) http://www.teppichreich.com/. Krummendiek is referenced as an "ort" in zipcode lists and "ort" usually means small town. So there is an town Krummendiek in the area of Itzehoe too.
The correct entry in Geo database as I see it would have been:
Itzehoe, Itzehoe, Schleswig-Holstein, Germany (the administrative city) AND
Krummendiek, Itzehoe, Schleswig-Holstein, Germany (the town I am making
referance to)

noneFirst question for you is. Is Krummendick a City/Town in Germany or is Itzehoe the city. I have tried a few searches of online databases andCodeof them show Krummendick as a city. They all seem to show Itzehoe as a city as does our database.
See a couple I tried:
http://www.heavens-above.com/countries.asp
Click on Germany and enter Krummendick and click search. It's not found.
Click back and enter Itzehoe and click search. It is found as a city.
Try this one. http://gnswww.nima.mil/geonames/GNS/index.jsp On the left click the GNS Search. Next click on Germany in the Countrylist box. Then try entering Krummendick in the Name: box and clicksearch.It's not found. Close that window and enter Itzehoe in the Name: box and
click Search Database again. It's is found.
When we move Itzehoe to the city field it seems correct to me.

Ken
It is important to point out that your explanation is only valid for US locations. The search function does not work like that in other places.
Example:
Master location data used to search:
Krummendick, Itzehoe, Schleswig-Holstein, Preussen
Core result
Itzehoe, , Schleswig-Holstein, Germany << City moved one position to left,
city now hold county data.
Core+ result
Krummendick, Itzehoe, , Schleswig-Holstein, Germany << City moved one
position to left (=farm?) , city now hold county data.
Selecting Core+ gives Long location Krummendick, Itzehoe, , Schleswig-Holstein, Germany Short location Krummendick, Itzehoe, , Schleswig-Holstein, DEU
End result - city information moved away from city field and county into city field. This is how it works for non-US locations.
