The “von” could be put in the Title Pre then it would be “von Bruck” but the
options would have to be set so it displays correctly. also it is better to tag
the non-location entries first so they are not lost and then the tagged ones
can be copied or turned into notes then if there are non used locations a purge
could take place. The purge should be done after all the other options have
been used.

Regarding 1, you have two options -- record the "von" as part of the Surname
field ("von Bruck"). Is that not where it should properly be included? If you
put it as a title suffix, it will appear after the name ("Bruck von"). Your
second option is to use Alternate Names, recording "Bruck" in the Surname
field, and "von Bruck" in the Alternate Name filed. You can swap these easily
at the individual level.
Regarding 2, to remove places not used, within the Master Location List, click
Options > Purge Unused...

I have recently purchased the latest version of Legacy Family Tree
having used Family Tree Maker for years. There are many functions in
both that I appreciate but also differences that can be confusing.
To start with I have two questions:
1. What is the best way for Legacy to handle "von" or "von der"? I am
not totally pleased with the way name prefix or suffix does this. I
would prefer to have the main part of the name, i.e. Bruck rather than
von Bruck, but still have the von recorded. This does significantly
affect the search on FamilySearch.
2. On import of .ged file there seemed to be some errors that placed
dates or other information in the places database. I have corrected the
individual records but these false places are still listed and I can't
find a way to erase them.
Thanks
Bernie
