Please, don't take the county name out of the short location. Take out the work "County," shorten Nevada to NV, remove USA and shorten the word Cemetery to Cem. BUT leave in the county name. You have no idea how frustrating it is to get a gedcom or find locations on the internet that leave out the county name. Often a state will have more than one town or cemetery with the same name and many states have a town and a county by the same name. Remember, you are preparing your information for other researchers, family members and family that is to come in future generations. Keep locations where there can be NO guesswork as to the exact location.

I have been able to search and replace the "COUNTY" problem but I still find that my Short-Location comma delimited string is still <to long> David Legacy User Group guidelines can be found at: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp To find past messages, please go to our searchable archives at: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup%40mail.millenniacorp.com/ To unsubscribe please visit: http://www.legacyfamilytree.com/LegacyLists.asp
