You only have to fix the locations once in the Master Location List to have the fixed location used by all the people and events. Go to View Master Lists Location to open that list. I will let you decide, based on your own evaluation of the need, whether you will change all your locations to 4

Brian, It is a great shame that Legacy gives the impression that the 4 field convention is universal, when it definitely is not. I do wish that the Help files would make this clear. As a Brit, I work pretty much as yourself and without problem, but long ago gave up using the geolocator,

Thanks Brian. I think I'll wait and see how the Origins and Migrations report deals with the 3 part place names before I make any final decision about place names. I do have the option at least of putting in an electoral district as county for Australian locations, but the problem there is that

Thanks everyone. I think I'll have to reassess the location aspect once L8 is out, to see if my locations work or not with it as I really am interested in see where my family has gone and come from over time. On 4 September 2013 15:12, Susan Perrett sus...@st.net.au wrote: Kathy, At 12:56

I'm not actually hung up about it, I merely wanted to know if my locations, being a mix of 3 part UK 3 part Aus, with a smattering of 4 part US, were going to produce the right results in L8's Origins and Migration reports, and if not, what did I need to do to ensure that they would. I am very

Hi Kathy The 4 part location does not suit Australian or UK places (and those in many other countries) and trying to force them into it using blanks and commas looks terrible and isn't accurate. If the Origins and Migration reports in Legacy 8 don't support places outside the USA and their 4
