It would be helpful to know the ways that location "descriptions" are used in a number of countries. The UK and USA examples/preferences are commonly given but other European and N/S American would be of interest to me. I noticed a distinct way that my aunt's address was given on her letters from 1950s/60s which is different than the USA pattern.

For example for the city of Nice in France the proper way to present the toponym is: Nice, 06088, Alpes-Maritimes, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, France Georges -----Message d'origine----- De : LegacyUserGroup [mailto:legacyusergroup-boun...@legacyusers.com] De la part de Leonard J. McCown Envoyé : 2 avril 2017 17:49 À : 'Legacy User Group' <legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com> Objet : Re: [LegacyUG] Master Location list, Place names Years ago I learned to leave a space for a place that was missing, to mark its place, and also to tell the person that it is a town, village, etc., and the next is the county (at least in the USA). I have continued that, but have started a no-no also, by adding Co. to the county so it is clear. Too many places and counties are named the same . . . Dallas, Dallas Co., Texas. I decided what's best for me and to make it clear when I am dead and others might be using my database. If they don't like it, they can change it then. Personally I think it is a good idea. Was there an option to remove that in the set up for Legacy? ____________________________________________________________ _________________ Leonard J.
