Hi all,
I'm new to the list and I would firstly like to say Hi and that I have
learned a lot from reading the answers to questions provided by members on
the list.
As a recent convert to Legacy and long term Family Historian, I have
decided to settle on Legacy as my chosen genealogy software. I have my
critical data scattered in various GEDCOM files either generated from my
previous software or kindly donated to me from other like minded fellow
researchers.
In attempts to establish my Legacy master data file, I have been able to
successfully import and merge these various GEDCOM files without much of an
issue. However I am finding it an arduous task to edit the multitude of
formatting corrections I have in my Location data. I have been editing this
data 'entry by entry' via the master list and then by using the function;
'Combine the highlighted location with another on the list'.
Is there a way to open up the Master Location database and apply bulk
changes to it by using like a Find & Replace function? If so, this would be
very handy where there are many entries that require the same correction. By
example, the majority of locations I have for 'South Australia' are mostly
recorded as ' <somewhere>, Sa, Aust' and I wish to change all of these
Master Location Entries to ' <somewhere>, South Australia, Australia'.
