Jane,
Bring up the Master Location List. On the far right click Options then
Expand/Contract Location Parts.
On the right you will see a way to Add USA to all locations. Legacy is smart
enough to not add them if you have another country name listed.

The one I suggested is a built-in feature that recognizes United States
state names and abbreviations and does the add for all states with one
click. A user search and replace would have to be repeated for each of
the 50 state names and abbreviations to do the same replacement which

Hi Jane. You can use the SEARCH and REPLACE function in Legacy to clean
up your location lists (short or long) such as changing USA to United
States or whatever you are attempting to do. I've used that method many
times. Just do it carefully, back up and test by doing a single instance
only, for
My main cleanup task it that I originally input the state and left off
the USA. Now that I wish to add the USA, can I just put the state name
and replace with - say, Kentucky, USA? As in...Find Kentucky,

On the right are options on adding or removing USA or United States from

Make your selections for how to manipulate the long and short names,

Brian,
I did as you suggested. It worked on some but not all. Can't figure
out why. They look to be the same. I think I had the correct things
checked.
At least there are fewer to work on.

I ALWAYS enter my locations with city, county, state so my example may not work
as well for you but I used 'Search and Replace' to add USA to the end of a

wouldn't take but a few minutes to add USA to the end of

If you want/need to use other than the 4 standard for the USA levels
the program will accept up to 9 levels separated by commas.
Someone in this thread suggested that 4 levels also apply to Canada.
That is not necessarily true and is totally unnecessary for finding
vital records of Birth, Death

The nice thing about going through your file and doing cleanup is that you
will find mistakes that you didn’t even know you had. One more thing about
