Gene - Looks great, will try it out. Thanks. The only flaw I've encountered is when a county was formed out of two or more parent counties. Since I don't know a town, I propose to add both county's to that position in the location. e.g., Yancey county, NC was formed from Buncombe and Burke Counties, so my location will become ',Buncombe or Burke, North Carolina, USA'. This of course requires that the 'USA County Verification' feature be turned off to allow the program to accept this entry. If I later decide to run the County verification, by turning this feature back on, I would have to understand that the dual (or more) county's in the errors would have to be ignored in the resultant report. Not a complete solution, but it will force me to research both county records for the original data should the need arise to do so.
