Great idea! I created a dummy location called testing and set it to a known person--baptismal location. Then I merged the locations. So far, so good. However, only the known person showed up as being linked to the testing location. So I went back and removed testing from my known person--and I'm right back to where I was before. "Testing" shows no records use that location, but when I try to delete it, I get the message that the location is in use.
It's definitely related to imported data--I set the location as the location of a marriage record for the same people, and both members of the couple showed up. If anyone remembers what the cause/solution was, let me know, please. But I'm not going to stress over it further--it's not a big issue and I can live with it. It's just that I'm an Elephant's Child, and have to know Why!

I have several locations in this category. For some reason the location is not attached to any individual but Legacy is confused and thinks it is. I have not done anything about the problem as it does not really bother me. My suggestion would be to merge the bad location into a good location (one that has just one specific individual for that location), run a list and see what you get.....the 'bad' location should be purged.

I cannot get *any* events linked to *any* location with the "show list" button. When I try to show the list for this location I get a message that there are no records for the location. But when I try to delete it, I get a message that the location is in use. I did find one bad location hidden in an imported "baptism" event--and I moved the information to the proper place and deleted the event. (I tagged all the people who had links to a similarly named location, and looked through them one at a time until I found one with a baptism event, which I don't use.) Unfortunately, I'm reasonably sure that the one I want to fix now is linked to a marriage event--and I can't get those to come up.

It won't give me events! Is that a Deluxe feature? I don't think so. Have you tried just deleting the location? Maybe the location is not being used. If it is being used, attempting to delete it will display a warning. So just go ahead and try to delete it. I would also recommend making a backup and doing a check/repair first. -- Dennis M.
