format for Washington, DC
I'm beginning to dislike the shape-shifting that needs to occur to force the
location to conform to four fields or values. Use the four when it apllies. This
is covered somewhat in EE 8.12.

I've got some London, Middlesex County locations. I think part of

Can we please be clear that at one time London was part of the county of
Middlesex, and not the other way round. As there is no longer a Middlesex
County Council technically it no longer exists. However, it is still used to
describe an area and for post code (zip) purposes.

Me too! Seems the current discussion just goes to show that there are more

That sounds like a plan. Lots of back-tracking though. I hate the way my
cousin puts everything including street name and number into the Master
Locations and I changed them all.

No, not misunderstanding. That's what I thought - that's where you put
everything. I just don't like it but I can see it would be easier than
trying to fit things into the 4 fields and then the Address fields to
take up the slack.
The problem, as I see it, is that it wouldn't fit nicely into
read about other ways of doing things, and then make my own mind
up, I encourage others to do the same.

It may not be right but it depends on the time frame you are discussing.
Early on, D.C. had two counties - Washington and Alexandria - and
encompassed a portion of Virginia. In that case you probably would have
treated it like any city and state with reference to the county. Later
- about 1846 -
OK, I'll bite. What IS correct? Thanks for the other info. I never would

All of my D.C. folks are very early on - so I get to use the county
system. While it looks odd, what was suggested might work - or perhaps
leave the city blank - put washington where you normally would put the
county - and then the district and country.
