To start, I think I did not make sufficiently clear that I was addressing
concerns about learning the IGS Marriage record Indexing task (Shirley
Fields said you were working at it). I did not mean to refer to anything
about Legacy.
Okay, now to your concern about the Legacy geography function. First it is
crucial to input all locations as city-comma, county-comma, state-comma.
Example: Terre Haute,Vigo,IN. in all location spaces. Do not enter anything
more or less there. If you do not know one of the three slots
(city,county,state you must enter it this way:
Terre Haute,,IN.
If the location data is entered that way, Legacy will first ask if you are
comfortable with the spellings that you entered. Assuming yes...you click on
the globe at the right end of the location line to see what the US atlas
says will fill in blanks for you according the to date you have for that
location. It would advise Knox for the county before it became Vigo, etc.
It will actually show you several lines with that information (more than I
should address here beyond saying that we will focus on this and other basic
functions at our first LUG meeting Jan 27. However, I will briefly mention
that I urge folks to use postal office two-letters for the state to save
space in printing forms, etc. and I never use the USA if the address is USA.
For foreign countries use the three-letter nation acronym, such as GER for
Germany (usually the first three letters of any foreign country).
If you do click on the cross at the end of the location line you will see
the options of address, notes, or pictures. The address means the exact
street address; notes are for such comments (consider that the major notes
option, such as the name of a birth hospital or cemetery name, etc.). The
down arrow at the end of the location line refers to seeing total location
data (lets you see if you can verify or combine duplicates, etc.). I won't
step more into master lists now nor in our first meeting.
Let me know if any of this is still not clear and helpful (may just call
535-3618?)
Sorry that I was not more clear in the beginning. Loran

You can't edit the Geo Locations Database.
However, I don't understand what you're referring to about dates? There
are
only locations and coordinates in the Geo Location Database and nothing in
French (except the Names of the towns and provinces)
Thanks for using Legacy.

I just update my Geo Locations databases to include "The Americas", to get
Canadian locations. It appears that there are many "dates", in French,
and
a few odd looking references that "might" be addresses.
Anyone have any idea why these are in the locations database? Are they
safe
to remove and if so, please explain how to go about it.
Thank you
