The one thing that Legacy misses is an editor. I can understand that to
a degree, but there are points like this where it would be useful to
search and find a block of data and then make a change against all of
them. Of course, that needs knowing what the user might what to find and
what to
I have been laboriously cleaning up my locations in Legacy 9. I decided
that all events in the US that took place before 1783 should identify
"Colonial America" for the country. After 1872, all US locations should
identify "United States" as the country.
This may not make sense to some, but it
Work in your Master Location list and you won't have to do them one by one!

Although you can use the Master Location List to edit a location and the
change will update all uses I do not think that will work for you

I did a similar thing with location names. I basically did it the way Brian
suggested. Bear in mind there may be people born in Colonial America (before
1783) but married or died when the country name was different. I have
individuals among my European ancestors whom have two or even three
That seems to be good for making changes to the expanded/contracted
location formats, especially if you were slack in entering your data.
But what Dave actually wants is a process to pass through every event in
his database, identify the date on the event and then would or add the
location
I agree with Brian Kelly. No quick fix. I periodically clean up locations based
on time of event.
